I am proud to join thousands of other scientists calling for a binding Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty that will end new expansion and phase out existing production in a fair and just way. If you support this call, please sign on here and share: fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter
To stay under 1.5C, we need to cut fossil fuel production by an average of at least 6% per year between 2020-2030, and rich countries need to lead on this.
To put this in clearer terms, total fossil fuel production and use needs to be cut in half in the course of this decade. That's the reality. And right now our governments' policy commitments are nowhere near that trajectory. It's not even on the agenda.
Also, the obvious fact here is that in order to prevent a massive rise in energy prices, which would harm the poorest in any society, the fossil fuel industry needs to be nationalized and phased out in a safe, just and orderly fashion, with a social guarantee for all.
