Our Demand
END FOSSIL FUELS BEFORE THEY END US
“We cannot save a burning planet with a fire hose of fossil fuels. The 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce. Not abate.”
– Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General, December 2023
Its simple. We need to end fossil fuels, before they end us. No more “phasing down”, no more false solutions, no more lies and misinformation.
Fossil fuels are driving us towards climate collapse. We have already passed 1.5C of global heating and are expected to pass 2C in the 2030s. This spells disaster for human societies globally.
Without an emergency plan to cut fossil fuel use we face: floods, droughts, and wildfires like we have never seen before, crops will fail, billions of people will be exposed to unlivable conditions, hundreds of millions will face starvation and ultimately death.
As citizens of wealthy developed countries we are aware that our nations bear the greatest responsibility for the climate crisis, but none are taking on their fair share of the global effort to reduce carbon emissions.
We refuse to die for fossil fuels and we refuse to stand by while millions are murdered.
OUR DEMAND : SIGN A TREATY TO JUST STOP OIL BY 2030
Our governments must work together to establish a legally binding treaty to stop extracting and burning oil, gas and coal by 2030 as well as supporting and financing poorer countries to make a fast, fair, and just transition.
This can be accomplished by endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative and seeking a negotiating mandate to establish the treaty.
