Launched two years ago, the Fossil Fuel Treaty campaign was inspired by the successful mobilizations and tactics of humanitarian treaty movements and appears to be on track to become a legal mechanism.

Building on existing support from businesses, the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative is now officially launching our new business engagement programme, and is calling on more businesses to join the growing chorus of voices publicly calling for the development of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The most recent IPCC report has made it clear that we no longer have time to waste if we want to secure a livable future. In a warming world, a whole toolbox of solutions is needed, but one that is often touted is nature restoration.

It’s time we unpack the age-old question:

Can planting trees actually save the Earth?

Momentum is growing for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to provide global oversight of a fair and rapid transition away from fossil fuels: the primary cause of climate change. With the Paris Agreement failing to even mention coal, oil, and gas, the need for a complementary international agreement is clear. But what would it contain? In this #FossilFreeFeature, we invite three academics to explore the possible elements of a treaty.

The 27th year of U.N. climate talks comes to a bittersweet conclusion with a cover text that addresses the consequences of climate change but fails to act on the cause. The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative was in attendance with one clear goal in mind: to free the world from the grip of fossil fuels.

Who is leading the pushback against fossil fuels? Who is falling behind? The global roadmap towards a just and equitable transition is clearer, thanks to The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Tracker. This open-source interactive tool uses artificial intelligence, crowd-sourcing, and research to map and track supply-side fossil fuel policies around the world.
