@SussexUni For decades, we have been encouraging governments to address fossil fuels directly, knowing that they are the biggest driver of climate change. But what is actually happening in the world and who is in the lead? This new Fossil Fuel Tracker helps answer that.
@SussexUni All major scientific reports show new fossil fuel projects are incompatible with a livable planet yet self-proclaimed climate leaders keep approving new poisonous projects to the detriment of public health, biodiversity & security.
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"🧵
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
🧑🏿🤝🧑🏿Destroy livelihoods, public health & biodiversity
💰 Undermine African development, saddling countries with more debt & stranded assets
☀️Prevent finance going to energy access & a transition to clean energy in Africa
.@EU_Commission 🇪🇺 needs to stop jeopardizing Africa’s development & access to electricity. Instead, as @marietouss1 says, EU leaders must support a #JustTransition in the continent & accelerate a renewable based energy system globally.
You'll want to go see @mitzijonelle & @NakabuyeHildaF give this #TEDx talk on the ways young people around the world are standing up to the fossil fuel industry.
🚨 Breaking 🚨 The European Parliament just called for nation-states to “work on developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty” in its formal #COP27 resolution.
This is a major development in the global push for a #FossilFuelTreaty.
Just 3 weeks ago, H.E. President Nikenike Vurobaravu, President of Vanuatu, invited governments to join them in developing a #FossilFuelTreaty at #UNGA – sparking a wave of diplomatic support for the proposal, including now in the European Parliament. fossilfueltreaty.org/vanuatu
