AMAZONÍA: LA PRIMERA ZONA DE NO PROLIFERACIÓN DE COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES

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 region become the first zone to prohibit such activities. It highlights the severe environmental and social impacts of extraction in the Amazon, noting that a significant percentage of the biome in several countries overlaps with oil blocks, with Ecuador having the highest proportion at 51.5%. The document calls for the suspension of new hydrocarbon exploration, the protection of indigenous rights through prior consultation, and a just transition to a new energy model supported by international financial cooperation.

• A proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty aims to stop the expansion of new coal, oil, and gas deposits, ensure an equitable phase-out of 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 and sometimes irreversible environmental, social, and cultural damage, including biodiversity loss, deforestation, and violations of indigenous peoples' rights.
• A significant portion of the Amazon biome in several countries is currently overlapped by oil blocks, with Ecuador's overlap being the highest at 51.5%, followed by Peru (30.9%), Bolivia (28.8%), Colombia (27.3%), Venezuela (2.7%), and Brazil (1.4%).
• To establish the Amazon as a non-proliferation zone, governments must suspend new hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, guarantee indigenous participation and consent, create local economic alternatives, and transition to a just energy model with international financial support from the global north.
