A CALL FROM THE ECUMENICAL, INTERFAITH AND ECO-SPIRITUAL COALITION OF THE GLOBAL SOUTH

A coalition of ecumenical, interfaith, and eco-spiritual organizations from the Global South calls for a Fossil Fuel Treaty to address the climate crisis. The coalition argues that the burning of coal, oil, and gas is the primary driver of climate change and demands an immediate end to new fossil fuel projects, the cancellation of debts for the Global South, and a transition centered on social justice and the rights of indigenous peoples and affected communities.

• The coalition identifies the massive burning of coal, oil, and gas as the primary cause of the climate crisis, noting these sources were responsible for 86% of CO₂ emissions between 2010 and 2019.
• The coalition demands a Fossil Fuel Treaty that includes an immediate stop to new coal, oil, and gas projects, the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies, and a rapid, equitable phase-out of existing production with support for affected workers and communities.
• The coalition calls for a transformation of the global financial system, specifically demanding that governments of the Global North increase public funding and that unsustainable debts of the Global South be cancelled and reinvested into the energy transition.
• A 'Just Transition' is defined by the coalition as one that incorporates the voices of indigenous peoples, peasants, and people of African descent, ensuring their self-determination and free, prior and informed consent regarding their territories.
