PILLARS OF THE PROPOSED FOSSIL FUEL TREATY

The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is based on three pillars: an immediate end to the expansion of new fossil fuel production, a fair phase-out of existing production aligned with the 1.5 target, and a global just transition to ensure support for affected workers and communities. The initiative argues that current 'net zero' plans often fail to address fossil fuels and that a rapid global exit is possible because renewable energy resources are sufficient to meet global demand.

• The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is structured around three pillars: non-proliferation, which requires an "immediate end to expansion of new coal, oil and gas production"; a fair phase-out to "Wind down existing production in line with the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 "; and a just transition providing "Global support to ensure no worker, community or country is left behind".
• The initiative asserts that a global transition is necessary because the Paris Agreement does not explicitly mention coal, oil, or gas, and current planned fossil fuel production is 120% higher than what is consistent with a 1.5 target.
• The proposal is supported by a broad coalition including 6 Pacific nation states, the European Parliament, over 90 cities and subnational governments, 650+ parliamentarians, 101 Nobel laureates, and 3,000+ health institutions including the WHO.
