Declaración: Por una transición justa de los combustibles fósiles
Summary
A coalition of organizations calls on Spain to join 18 countries in pursuing a legally binding Fossil Fuel Treaty based on just transition, non-proliferation, and planned phase-out. The declaration argues that Spain's continued dependence on fossil fuels creates economic and geopolitical vulnerabilities and urges the government to lead at the upcoming 2026 conference in Colombia.
Key insights
- The signatories argue that the UNFCCC consensus-based decision-making process is limited, noting that fossil fuels were only mentioned in the final decision of COP28 and that efforts to include a phase-out roadmap at COP30 were unsuccessful.
- A proposed Fossil Fuel Treaty is supported by 18 countries and is structured around three primary pillars: just transition, non-proliferation, and planned and progressive elimination.
- The declaration highlights that global fossil fuel demand continues to rise, with governments planning to extract more than double the amount compatible with a 1.5°C temperature limit by 2030, while subsidies are projected to reach 8.2 trillion dollars by 2030.
- Spain's dependence on oil and natural gas is identified as a risk to its energy sovereignty and economic stability, making the country vulnerable to a hostile geopolitical environment.
