Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative

In 2015, Pacific Island leaders issued the "Suva Declaration On Climate Change" during the Pacific Islands Development Forum in Suva, Fiji. They called for "the implementation of an international moratorium on the development and expansion of fossil fuel extracting industries, particularly the construction of new coal mines, as an urgent step towards de-carbonising the global economy."{{cite web|title=Suva Declaration On Climate Change |url=https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/theausinstitute/pages/231/attachments/original/1441668038/PACIFIC_ISLAND_DEVELOPMENT_FORUM_SUVA_DECLARATION_ON_CLIMATE_CHANGE.v2.pdf?1441668038 |date=2015 }} The next year, in 2016, 14 Pacific Island nations continued to discuss the world's first "treaty" that would ban new coal mining and embrace the 1.5 °C goal set at the recent Paris climate talks.{{cite news|last1=Slezak |first1=Michael |title=Pacific islands nations consider world's first treaty to ban fossil fuels |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/14/pacific-islands-nations-consider-worlds-first-treaty-to-ban-fossil-fuels|date=14 July 2016}}

In August 2017, a group of academics, activists, and analysts issued the Lofoten Declaration which stressed that climate policy and governance required a managed decline of fossil fuel production.{{cite web|title=The Lofoten Declaration |url=http://www.lofotendeclaration.org }} The international manifesto called for fossil fuel divestment and phase-out of use with a just transition to a low-carbon economy. The declaration received the support of 744 organizations, spanning 76 countries and helped mobilize efforts for a global treaty on fossil fuel production.{{Cite web|date=23 September 2019|title=530 organizations in 76 countries sign Lofoten Declaration|url=https://www.stand.earth/latest/fossil-fuel-free/local-to-global/530-organizations-76-countries-sign-lofoten-declaration}}{{Cite journal|author1=P.

At the closing of United Nations Climate Change Conference, on 17 November 2017, the Democratic Republic of Ethiopia made a final statement on behalf of Least Developed Countries (LDC), which they stressed the need for "an increase in ambition by all countries to put us on track to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 °C by strengthening our national contributions, managing a phase-out of fossil fuels, promoting renewable energy and implementing the most ambitious climate action."{{cite web| title= LDC Group Statement at the Joint closing session for COP23| url=https://www.ldc-climate.org/ldc_chair_statement/ldc-group-statement-at-closing-of-cop23/|access-date=11 November 2021}}

A year later, on 23 October 2018, Peter Newell and Andrew Simms, academics at the University of Sussex, wrote an op-ed in The Guardian that renewed these public calls for a "treaty": This time they presented the treaty idea as a "Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty." While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) advised reducing carbon emissions 45% by 2030 to hold global temperature rise below 1.5 °C, global demand for coal, oil and gas has continued to grow. Newell and Simms noted that fossil fuels accounted for 81% of energy use in 2018 with forecasts, including those by the International Energy Agency, anticipating greater demand in future decades. As a historical precedent for a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty, Newell and Simms cited the Toronto Conference on the Changing Atmosphere in 1988, where the threat of "climatic upheaval" was compared "second only to nuclear war"—a sentiment endorsed at the time by the CIA, MI5, United Nations.{{cite news |last1=Simms |first1=Andrew |last2=Newell |first2=Peter |title=We need a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty – and we need it now |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/23/fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty-climate-breakdown |access-date=9 July 2021 |work=The Guardian |date=23 Oct 2018 |archive-date=9 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509094904/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/23/fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty-climate-breakdown |url-status=live }} In 2019 and 2020, Newell and Simms continued to write and publish on the Treaty in non-specialist news and academic journals.{{cite news |last1=Newell |first1=Peter |last2=Simms |first2=Andrew |title=Why we need a non-proliferation treaty for fossil fuels |url=https://www.climatechangenews.com/2019/07/11/need-non-proliferation-treaty-fossil-fuels/ |access-date=9 July 2021 |publisher=Climate Home News |date=11 July 2019 |archive-date=12 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210612034434/https://www.climatechangenews.com/2019/07/11/need-non-proliferation-treaty-fossil-fuels/ |url-status=live }}{{cite journal |last1=Newell |first1=Peter |last2=Simms |first2=Andrew |title=Towards a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty |journal=Climate Policy |date=8 July 2019 |volume=20, 2020 |issue=8: Special Issue: Curbing Fossil Fuel Supply to Achieve Climate Goals |pages=1043–1054 |doi=10.1080/14693062.2019.1636759 |s2cid=199315911 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2020CliPo..20.1043N }}

The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative officially launched at Climate Week NYC on September 25, 2020, at an event called "International Cooperation to Align Fossil Fuel Production with a 1.5°C World."{{cite news |title=International Cooperation to Align Fossil Fuel Production with a 1.5°C World |url=https://www.aenweb.ca/events/international-cooperation-align-fossil-fuel-production-15oc-world |access-date=9 July 2021 |publisher=Alberta Environmental Network |date=25 September 2020 |archive-date=30 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030125854/https://www.aenweb.ca/events/international-cooperation-align-fossil-fuel-production-15oc-world |url-status=live }}

Tzeporah Berman, a Canadian environmental activist, was named the chair of the Treaty Initiative, and Alex Rafalowicz, the director of the Treaty Initiative. Berman has argued that by "explicitly addressing the supply side of the climate crisis, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty offers a way for countries to shift course."{{cite news |last1=Moran |first1=Greta |title=US cities consider treating fossil fuels like nuclear weapons |url=https://grist.org/climate/u-s-cities-consider-treating-fossil-fuels-like-nuclear-weapons/ |publisher=Grist |date=12 January 2021 |access-date=10 July 2021 |archive-date=12 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112172041/https://grist.org/climate/u-s-cities-consider-treating-fossil-fuels-like-nuclear-weapons/?utm_campaign=sprout&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_content=1610404746 |url-status=live }} Berman has since argued that the Treaty would be a more genuine and realistic way to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement than the "net zero" approach which, she claimed, is "delusional and based on bad science."{{cite news |last1=Berman |first1=Tzeporah |last2=Nathan |first2=Taft |title=Global oil companies have committed to 'net zero' emissions.

"The hope many academics, researchers, and activists have is that an international agreement to prevent the expansion of fossil fuels, to manage a fair global phase-out, and to guide a just transition could be used to preserve a planet that can support human life." "The Treaty aims to be a complementary mechanism to the Paris Agreement by directly addressing the fossil fuel industry and putting the just transition at its core," according to Rafalowicz.{{cite news |last1=Rafalowicz |first1=Alex |title=This is why we need a fossil fuel treaty |url=https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/08/this-is-why-we-need-a-fossil-fuel-treaty/ |access-date=22 September 2021 |publisher=World Economic Forum |date=19 August 2021}}

On 21 April 2021, the Treaty Initiative coordinated a letter signed by 100 Nobel laureates, including scientists, peace makers, writers, and the Dalai Lama, urging world leaders "to take concrete steps to phase out fossil fuels in order to prevent catastrophic climate change."{{cite news |last1=Frangoui |first1=Anmar |title=Dalai Lama and other Nobel Prize winners pressure leaders to stop fossil fuel expansion |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/dalai-lama-nobel-prize-winners-pressure-leaders-on-fossil-fuels.html |access-date=7 July 2021 |publisher=CNBC |date=21 April 2021 |archive-date=6 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506235646/https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/dalai-lama-nobel-prize-winners-pressure-leaders-on-fossil-fuels.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Budryk |first1=Zack |title=Nobel laureates call for elimination of fossil fuels |url=https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/549434-nobel-laureates-call-for-elimination-of-fossil-fuels |access-date=10 July 2021 |work=The Hill |date=21 April 2021 |archive-date=22 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422152641/https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/549434-nobel-laureates-call-for-elimination-of-fossil-fuels |url-status=live }}{{cite news |title='Stop fossil fuel expansion': Nobel laureates urge climate action |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/22/nobel-laureates-urge-leaders-to-stop-fossil-fuel-expansion |access-date=10 July 2021 |publisher=Al Jazeera |date=22 April 2021 |archive-date=30 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210630041544/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/22/nobel-laureates-urge-leaders-to-stop-fossil-fuel-expansion |url-status=live }}{{cite news |title=Over 100 Nobel Winners Call for Global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty |url=https://www.theenergymix.com/2021/04/23/over-100-nobel-winners-call-for-global-fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty/ |access-date=16 July 2021 |publisher=The Energy Mix |date=23 April 2021}}

The open letter referenced the importance of both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 2015 Paris Agreement which aims to limit global warming to "well below" 2 °C and, ideally, restrict any rise to 1.5 °C, compared to pre-industrial levels. It noted that failure to meet the 1.5 °C target would risk "pushing the world towards catastrophic global warming." It also added that the Paris Agreement makes no mention of oil, gas or coal. The letter highlighted a report from the United Nations Environment Programme, stating that "120% more coal, oil, and gas will be produced by 2030 than is consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C."{{cite news |title=World's governments plan to produce 120% more fossil fuels by 2030 than can be burned under 1.5°C warming |url=https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/worlds-governments-plan-produce-120-more-fossil-fuels-2030-can-be |access-date=7 July 2021 |publisher=UN Environment Programme |date=20 November 2019 |archive-date=5 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105050819/https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/worlds-governments-plan-produce-120-more-fossil-fuels-2030-can-be |url-status=live }}

The letter concluded that the expansion of the fossil fuel industry "is unconscionable ... The fossil fuel system is global and requires a global solution—a solution the Leaders' Climate Summit must work towards. And the first step is to keep fossil fuels in the ground."

The open letter, published a day before U.S. President Joe Biden hosted the virtual 2021 Leaders' Climate Summit with leaders from various countries, described the burning of fossil fuels as "by far the major contributor to climate change."

Alongside the Dalai Lama, signatories to the letter included Jody Williams, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines' founding coordinator; the economist Christopher Pissarides; Shirin Ebadi, the first female judge in Iran; and former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. Other names included Liberian peace activist and advocate for women's rights, Leymah Gbowee, and Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, novelist and poet.

In February 2021, Carbon Tracker, a UK-based think tank, and Global Energy Monitor, a US-based research organization, announced the creation of an independent and standalone Global Registry of Fossil Fuels. The Registry is supported by the Treaty as an important step in ensuring transparency and accountability in fossil fuel production and reserves. The registry is built on Global Energy Monitor's infrastructure data for coal mines, coal mine reservers, and coal mine methane emissions, and oil and gas extraction sites and reserves. {{cite news |last1=Kaminski |first1=Isabella |title=Fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty – a call to disarm |url=https://chinadialogue.net/en/energy/fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty-a-call-to-disarm/ |access-date=10 July 2021 |publisher=China Dialogue |date=19 March 2021 |archive-date=21 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210321133010/https://chinadialogue.net/en/energy/fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty-a-call-to-disarm/ |url-status=live }}

Mark Campanale, the founder and executive director of Carbon Tracker, wrote in the Financial Times that the registry "will allow governments, investors, researchers and civil society organisations, including the public, to assess the amount of embedded CO₂ in coal, oil and gas projects globally. It will be a standalone tool and can provide a model for a potential UN-hosted registry."{{cite web| last1=Campanle|first1=Mark| title=A carbon registry leaves polluters with nowhere left to hide| url=https://www.ft.com/content/3091ef3c-ff85-454b-89ef-7735e2dcf563 |publisher=Financial Times|date=12 April 2021}}

At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Ted Nace, executive director of Global Energy Monitor, said "The development of this dataset is the first step in a virtuous circle of transparency. The more the inventory of carbon in the ground advances, the more useful it will become and the greater the pressure on countries and companies for full transparency."{{cite web| last1=Amos| first1=Ilona |title=COP26: New online tool to reveal true picture of coal, oil and gas extraction worldwide| url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/cop26-new-online-tool-to-reveal-true-picture-of-coal-oil-and-gas-extraction-worldwide-3454853 |publisher= Scotsman|date=11 November 2021}}

On Jan 31, 2023, journalist Gaye Taylor reported that, "ten years after Ecuador abandoned efforts to get the international community to pay it not to drill for oil in a corner of Yasuní National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, the cash-strapped country’s decision to double down on fossil exploration is signalling the need for a global fossil fuel non-proliferation agreement."{{cite news |last1=Taylor |first1=Gaye |title=Ecuador's Amazon Drilling Plan Shows Need for Fossil Non-Proliferation Treaty |url=https://www.theenergymix.com/2023/01/31/ecuadors-amazon-drilling-shows-need-for-fossil-non-proliferation-treaty/ |access-date=4 February 2023 |publisher=The Energy Mix |date=31 January 2023}} A reassessment of that abandoned Yasuní-ITT Initiative points to the broader issue of how the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty could be built and implemented as an international agreement and a compliance mechanism for a more fair fossil fuel phase-out.{{cite journal |last1=Newell |first1=Peter |last2=van Asselt |first2=Harro |last3=Daley |first3=Freddie |title=Building a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty: Key elements |journal=Earth System Governance |date=December 2022 |volume=14 |issue=100159 |page=100159 |doi=10.1016/j.esg.2022.100159 |bibcode=2022ESGov..1400159N |hdl=1874/426610 |s2cid=253726003 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000283#sec4 |access-date=4 February 2023 |issn=2589-8116|hdl-access=free }}{{cite journal | last=van Asselt | first=Harro | last2=Newell | first2=Peter | title=Pathways to an International Agreement to Leave Fossil Fuels in the Ground | journal=Global Environmental Politics | publisher=MIT Press | volume=22 | issue=4 | year=2022 | issn=1526-3800 | doi=10.1162/glep_a_00674 | doi-access=free | pages=28–47| url=https://direct.mit.edu/glep/article-pdf/22/4/28/2058402/glep_a_00674.pdf }}

On 11 November, at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, "a group of young climate activists delivered a sharp rebuke to delegates at the COP26 climate summit...demanding that a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty be put in place and calling out global leaders for their continued closeness to the coal, oil and gas industries...The activists did not mince their words when they took over the stage at the Glasgow conference, pointing out the absurdity of the fact that the very mentioning of "fossil fuels" in the meeting's agreement has become a sticking point. No COP agreement has ever mentioned fossil fuels as the main driver of the climate crisis....

At the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Vanuatu and Tuvalu became the first countries to endorse a fossil fuel non proliferation treaty. Tuvalu's Prime Minister Kausea Natano in his speech stated “We all know that the leading cause of climate crisis is fossil fuels”, “ we have joined Vanuatu and other nations calling for a fossil fuels non-proliferation treaty… It’s getting too hot and there is very (little) time to slow and reverse the increasing temperature.

In early 2023, the Pacific Island nations of Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands and Niue joined Vanuatu and Tuvalu to issue the Port Vila Call for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific, which included the call for the development of a Fossil Fuel Treaty. The Governments of Timor-Leste and Antigua & Barbuda joined the call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty later that year during the UN General Assembly in September. At the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Palau, Colombia, and Samoa all formally endorsed the treaty.{{Cite web |title=Who has endorsed? |url=https://fossilfueltreaty.org/endorsements |access-date=2023-12-02 |website=The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Palau becomes 9th nation state to formally call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty |url=https://fossilfueltreaty.org/palau |access-date=2023-12-02 |website=The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative |language=en-US}}{{Cite news |last=Greenfield |first=Patrick |date=2023-12-02 |title=Colombia joins international alliance calling for treaty to end use of fossil fuels |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/02/colombia-joins-international-alliance-calling-for-treaty-to-end-use-of-fossil-fuels |access-date=2023-12-02 |issn=0261-3077}}{{cite web |title=At COP28, Samoa becomes the 11th nation state to formally join the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty {{!}} Pacific Environment |url=https://www.sprep.org/news/at-cop28-samoa-becomes-the-11th-nation-state-to-formally-join-the-call-for-a-fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty |website=www.sprep.org |access-date=5 December 2023}} On the 1 December, over 100 cities and subnational governments voiced their support for the treaty.{{Cite web |title=In historic milestone, 100 cities call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty at COP28 |url=https://fossilfueltreaty.org/100-cities-cop28 |access-date=2023-12-02 |website=The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative |language=en-US}}

At the 2024 SIDS Conference, the Marshall Islands formally endorsed the treaty and were joined by the Federated States of Micronesia in September later that during the UN General Assembly. Both Pakistan and The Bahamas joined this call in December, bringing the total number of countries working towards the development of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to 15 in early 2025.

As of February 11, 2022, the initiative "has been supported by 101 Nobel Laureates, 2,600 academics, 170 parliamentarians, hundreds of prominent youth leaders, a growing group of faith leaders, and more than 1,300 civil society organisations, including Catalyst 2030, Limaatzuster, Citizens' Climate Europe, Both Ends and Fridays for Future Leeuwarden."{{cite web |title=Parliamentarians' call for a fossil fuel free future |url=https://www.fossilfuelfreefuture.org/ |website=Parliamentarians’ call for a fossil fuel free future |access-date=5 October 2022}}
