ORIENTAÇÕES PARA ELABORADORES DE POLÍTICAS

The briefing proposes a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty based on three pillars: preventing new exploration licenses, phasing out existing production equitably, and ensuring a just transition for workers and dependent communities. It outlines a strategy for 'precursor countries' to drive international cooperation, suggests specific diplomatic actions for national governments, and provides a menu of domestic policy options to reduce fossil fuel dependency.

• The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is structured around three core pillars: preventing the proliferation of coal, oil, and gas by stopping new exploration and production licenses; phasing out existing production in line with the 1.5°C goal with rich nations transitioning fastest; and enabling a just global transition for countries, workers, and communities through renewable energy access and economic diversification.
• The document argues that international coordination on fossil fuel production is essential because current government plans for coal, oil, and gas production are more than double what is compatible with a 1.5°C limit, and existing reserves could exhaust the remaining global carbon budget seven times over.
• A group of 'precursor countries'—including those most vulnerable to climate change, non-producers, and small-to-medium producers—can lead the treaty's momentum. A specific bloc of six Pacific nations (Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Tonga, Fiji, Niue, and Solomon Islands) has already committed to creating a 'Fossil Fuel Free Pacific'.
• National governments are encouraged to take specific diplomatic actions, such as publicly supporting the treaty, participating in informal meetings to build diplomatic support, and ensuring fossil fuel issues are included in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion on climate change and human rights.
• The briefing suggests four categories of domestic policy to reduce fossil fuel dependency: regulatory approaches (e.g., moratoria on exploration), economic instruments (e.g., removing producer subsidies), government procurement/services (e.g., divesting state funds), and information/transparency (e.g., mandatory corporate disclosure of long-term climate risks).
• The document warns against using diluted terms in multilateral negotiations, such as 'unabated coal' or 'inefficient' subsidies, arguing that these terms lack clear definitions and create loopholes for producers to continue expanding production.
