POR QUÉ NECESITAMOS UN TRATADO DE NO PROLIFERACIÓN DE COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES

The briefing asserts that current global production plans for fossil fuels will lead to emissions more than double what is compatible with the 1.5 °C target. It argues that while the Paris Agreement focuses on emissions, a new international legal instrument is needed to specifically target the supply side by ending new exploration and managing the equitable decline of existing production. The proposed treaty framework emphasizes a 'just transition' where wealthy nations transition fastest and provide financial and technological support to poorer, dependent nations. The document suggests a path toward this treaty through new country coalitions, such as the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA), increased transparency via the Global Fossil Fuel Registry, and the potential creation of a Global Commission on Fossil Fuels.

• Current government production plans are projected to result in 2030 emissions that are more than double the levels compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.
• To maintain the 1.5 °C threshold, global fossil fuel production must decrease by at least 6% annually between 2020 and 2030, according to the UNEP Production Gap Report.
• The Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC do not explicitly mention fossil fuels, creating a governance gap that necessitates additional measures to limit market forces and financial incentives driving infrastructure expansion.
• A successful global transition requires an equitable approach where wealthy nations with higher historical responsibility transition most rapidly and provide financial, technological, and capacity support to the Global South.
• The proposed Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty focuses on three pillars: ending all new exploration and production, equitably phasing out existing production, and enabling a global just transition for workers and communities.
• The initiative suggests utilizing models from previous international treaties, such as those for landmines and nuclear weapons, noting that such agreements can be negotiated relatively quickly and do not require initial support from all major actors.
