ARTISTS FOR A FOSSIL FUEL TREATY INITIATIVE

The 'Artists for a Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative' is an open letter signed by over 200 creators across various disciplines who argue that fossil fuel production is the primary driver of the climate crisis. The signatories demand a coordinated global plan to phase out coal, oil, and gas in an equitable manner and call for other artists to use their platforms to advocate for the treaty. The document highlights the importance of maintaining political momentum from the Santa Marta conference toward Tuvalu 2027.

• Over 200 artists from diverse disciplines and regions, including high-profile figures such as Brian Eno, Jane Fonda, and Susan Sarandon, have signed the call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
• The signatories assert that fossil fuel production is the central cause of the climate crisis and that the only solution is a fast and fair phase-out of coal, oil, and gas.
• The proposed Fossil Fuel Treaty is described as a coordinated global strategy to stop the expansion of fossil fuels, phase out current production equitably, and invest in a sustainable future.
• The document identifies the international conference in Santa Marta as a historic first for the global just transition away from fossil fuels and emphasizes the need to sustain this momentum toward Tuvalu 2027.
• The initiative argues that the fossil-fuelled system is a driver of violence, instability, and the erosion of international norms, coinciding with rising imperialism and authoritarianism.
