Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative

Susana Muhamad, the new Special Envoy for International Cooperation for the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative, has an invitation for countries around the world: if you're serious about phasing out fossil fuels, join us in Colombia this April 🌱 Her remarks came as a crucial intervention in a high-level event on the transition away from fossil fuels, hosted by the @Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Watch her full remarks in the video! #FossilFuelTreaty #COP30

COP30 speaks of a just transition, yet oil exploration at the mouth of the Amazon shows the opposite. Indigenous Peoples march with the clarity the negotiations need to follow. They lead when the forest is pushed to the edge, they are our roadmap for a fossil fuel free world that protects life! Watch, share and join the movement!

#Cambodia just became the 18th country to officially support the #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇰🇭 At #COP30 in Belém, Secretary of State Soung Sophorn affirmed Cambodia’s commitment to a fast, fair and financed global transition aligned with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. As part of the High-Level Action Agenda, Cambodia joined governments calling for a binding international mechanism to phase out oil, gas and coal and protect vulnerable communities. Countries across Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and beyond are stepping up where fossil fuel interests have stalled ambition. With 18 participating nations, and over 145 cities worldwide, the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative is rapidly becoming the clearest roadmap for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Cambodia’s leadership strengthens the push for a global agreement to end expansion and scale finance for a just, people-centred transition. ✊ Read our press release at the link in the comments below!

From the heart of Belém and across the Amazon, over 70,000 local, national and international movements came together at the People’s Summit to confront the political, economic and climate crises shaping our lives. 🇧🇷🌳 The Declaration of the People’s Summit towards #COP30 lays out a bold set of demands rooted in justice, sovereignty, and the lived realities of Indigenous peoples, workers, women, youth and frontline communities around the world. Among these demands is an urgent call to end fossil fuel exploitation, and the creation of mechanisms to ensure the non-proliferation of fossil fuels. This means a just, popular and inclusive energy transition that protects territories, delivers reparation, and defends regions like the Amazon, which are vital to life on this planet. As COP30 negotiations are underway, this Declaration reminds us that real climate solutions come from the peoples who protect land, water, culture and life every day.

✊ Tens of thousands of people marched in the streets of Belém today to demand a global just transition, an end to oil, gas and coal, & a fossil free Amazon 🌳 The Fossil Fuel Treaty network and allies joined the march to call for a rapid, managed phase-out of fossil fuels, justice and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples, and cooperation at the international level for a global just transition that leaves no one behind. It was a striking reminder that all power comes from the people. Join the Fossil Fuel Treaty at COP30! See our events at https://lnkd.in/eQe4qPwp 🔗

📣 “We want an end to fossil fuel obsession. We need a #FossilFuelTreaty to put an end to it so that the process is fair.” At #COP30, Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard called on governments to end their addiction to coal, oil, and gas, and commit to a fast, fair, and fully funded phase-out that puts people—not profit—at the center of negotiations. Joining her, President of the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative, Kumi Naidoo, highlighted growing global momentum for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, pointing to recent backing of the movement for a just transition away from fossil fuels from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the IUCN. Their message to leaders: COP30 must deliver a clear roadmap to phase out fossil fuels and ensure a just transition for all. 🔥
