AMAZÔNIA: A PRIMEIRA ZONA DE NÃO PROLIFERAÇÃO DE COMUSTÍVEIS FÓSSEIS

The fact sheet advocates for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to stop the expansion of coal, oil, and gas, specifically proposing that the Amazon become the first such zone. It highlights the environmental and social damage caused by extraction in the region and calls for the suspension of new hydrocarbon research, the protection of indigenous rights through prior consultation, and a just energy transition supported by the Global North.

• The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty aims to stop the expansion of new coal, oil, and gas projects, phase out existing production to meet the 1.5°C target, and fund a global transition to renewable energy.
• Fossil fuel extraction in the Amazon has caused severe environmental, social, and cultural impacts, including biodiversity loss, forest degradation, deforestation, and violations of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
• A significant portion of the Amazon biome in several countries overlaps with oil blocks, with Ecuador having the highest percentage at 51.5%, followed by Peru (30.9%), Bolivia (28.8%), Colombia (27.3%), Brazil (1.4%), and Venezuela (2.7%).
• To make the Amazon a non-proliferation zone, the document recommends suspending all new hydrocarbon research and exploration, ensuring the participation and prior consent of indigenous peoples, creating local economic alternatives, and transitioning to a just energy model with financial support from the Global North.
