The Treaty network stands in solidarity with the Peruvian people

The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative condemns the violent repression of protesters in Peru under President Dina Boluarte, linking the political crisis to a 'colonial heritage' of extractive, fossil fuel-dependent economies. The statement argues that the systematic plundering of Andean and Amazonian territories for minerals, oil, and gas by elites in Lima has fueled inequality and racism. The network calls for a just transition away from fossil fuel dependency, the recognition of Peru's plurinational character, and the establishment of a system based on social and climate justice.

• The political crisis in Peru, marked by the deaths of over 60 protesters since December 2022, is framed as a result of a colonial legacy that supports predatory extractive economies.
• The current economic system in Peru is described as being dependent on fossil fuels and extractivism, which the document claims generates the global climate crisis and concentrates power among retrograde elites.
• The systematic exploitation of minerals, oil, and gas in Andean and Amazonian indigenous territories is attributed to 30 years of neoliberalism established under the Fujimori dictatorship.
• The Treaty network advocates for a just transition from fossil fuel dependency and supports demands for the removal of the current President, new elections, a renewed Congress, and a new Constitution that recognizes Peru's plurinational character.
