In September, the President of Vanuatu, an island nation in the Pacific, made history by calling on nations to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty at the UN General Assembly. Signing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty could be a critical step to stop all new development of oil and gas, phase out existing fossil fuel production, and ensure workers are transitioned to a greener economy in a fair way. 

Now, during COP27, another Pacific nation - Tuvalu - joined the Treaty, calling other nations of the UN to follow.

The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is a binding international agreement to phase out fossil fuels, support dependent economies, workers and communities to diversify away from fossil fuels, ensure 100% access to renewable energy globally and promote a just transition that leaves no-one behind.

“Every day, we are experiencing the debilitating consequences of the climate crisis… and we are measuring climate change not in degrees of Celsius or tons of carbon, but in human lives.” - President of Vanuatu, Nikenike Vurobaravu. [2]

We are stronger together. Can you add your name to stand in solidarity with a Pacific island nations' plea for a fossil free future?
