TRATADO SOBRE COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES

The briefing advocates for an international treaty to end fossil fuel proliferation through three pillars: prohibiting new exploration and production, phasing out existing production equitably, and facilitating a just transition for dependent countries and communities. It outlines the necessary ingredients for such a treaty—including civil society movements and 'champion' countries like Vanuatu and Tuvalu—and provides a roadmap of diplomatic and national policy actions for governments to reduce fossil fuel dependency.

• Fossil fuels are the primary driver of climate change, accounting for 86% of carbon dioxide emissions over the last decade, and current reserves exceed the remaining carbon budget by seven times.
• The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is based on three pillars: prohibiting all new exploration and production projects, phasing out current production in line with the 1.5°C target (with faster transitions in wealthier nations), and supporting a just global transition to diversify economies and democratize renewable energy access.
• The treaty initiative has gained support from a wide array of stakeholders, including 101 Nobel laureates, over 3,000 scientists, 500 parliamentarians from 69 countries, and more than 75 major cities such as London, Paris, and Sydney.
• Vanuatu and Tuvalu have emerged as leading 'champion' countries, with Vanuatu being the first to publicly call for the treaty's negotiation at the UN General Assembly in September 2022, followed by Tuvalu at the UNFCCC plenary in December 2022.
• The document suggests several international negotiation frameworks for the treaty, including a UN General Assembly resolution, a UN Environment Assembly mandate, or an autonomous negotiation process similar to the Mine Ban Convention.
• Governments are encouraged to implement national supply-side policies, such as moratoria on exploration, removing producer subsidies, divesting state investments from fossil fuel companies, and requiring companies to disclose long-term climate risks.
