Today we see faith institutions representing 1.5B+ persons call for a #FossilFuelTreaty in response to govt action being "painstakingly slow & catered too much to the reckless & deceptive fossil fuel corporations"🧵

#NoFaithInFossils

Religious institutions have led the way on divesting from fossil fuels, playing a vital role in major climate mobilization. They now join this #FossilFuelTreaty call "to remedy the decades of negligence" & "heal the planet & people alike" as stated in their letter.

Faith leaders are part of a growing movement that recognizes fossil fuels are the greatest contributor to climate change. That list includes the likes of @WHO, European Parliament, Vanuatu, 101 Nobel Laureates and leading academics. See the full list: fossilfueltreaty.org

@WHO This movement recognizes that unless countries curb fossil fuel production in addition to tightening greenhouse gas emission restrictions, nations will continue to overshoot their already insufficient emissions targets.

@WHO In sharing his support for #FossilFuelTreaty,
@aburipeter of Baha'i International Community to UNEP asks us how we will be remembered. "Are we the ancestors that went back, battled and salvaged this beautiful planet?"

@WHO @aburipeter "Seeing our Pacific leaders anchoring our stories, advocating and pushing to phase out fossil fuels to accelerate a #JustTransition...that is hope" adds Frances Namoumou from @lotupasifika, sharing the role of Pacific nations and their faith communities in #climateaction.

@WHO @aburipeter @lotupasifika Fr. Joshtrom Isaac Kureethadam from the Vatican Dicastry outlines the three reason why we need #FossilFuelTreaty and the "moral travestry" we are experiencing with the lack of #climatejustice:

1⃣Physical obligation
2⃣Moral obligation
3⃣Spiritual obligation
