PROPOSED FOSSIL FUEL NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY
Summary
The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty aims to unlock finance and technology for an equitable transition to renewable energy and economic diversification. The initiative currently includes 17 countries, 135 cities and subnational governments, and various international figures and organizations. Participation in the initiative carries no immediate financial or legal obligations, allowing nations to help shape the treaty's scope and timeliness for an orderly phase-out of fossil fuels. The document suggests the treaty could serve as a mechanism to meet international law obligations established by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Key insights
- The proposed treaty is designed to enable an equitable transition by providing the necessary finance and technology for renewable energy deployment, economic diversification, and justice for workers and communities.
- The initiative has broad support from diverse stakeholders, including 17 countries, 135 cities and subnational governments, over 4,100 organisations, 101 Nobel Laureates, and eleven Amazonian Indigenous nations.
- Participation in the initiative does not impose immediate legal or financial obligations on nations, providing them an opportunity to collectively determine the form and timing of a fossil fuel phase-out.
