Support the call from some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries for a global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, international cooperation is necessary to explicitly halt the expansion of fossil fuels and manage a global Just Transition away from coal, oil, and gas. The world has used treaties to defuse threats posed by nuclear weapons, landmines, and chlorofluorocarbons. A Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FFNPT) could be a transformative step in addressing global emissions reductions and delivering climate justice. There is a growing international campaign for an FFNPT, with support from an increasing number of cities, states, substates, and countries.
The next Scottish Government could demonstrate global climate leadership by adding its voice to support the call from some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries for a global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
