We're excited to share that the @SierraClub has formally called for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Join them 👉 fossilfueltreaty.org

🧵 for info... including how this could impact a #FossilFuelTreaty resolution being considered by the State of California this week. Image
@SierraClub is the latest to endorse the proposal, joining:

🇻🇺 Vanuatu
🇹🇻 Tuvalu
🇪🇺 European Parliament
🌉 80 cities & subnational governments
🏥 @WHO & hundreds of health institutions
🌍 2,100+ civil society orgs
🪧 Thousands of youth activists
🕊️ 101 Nobel Laureates
Sierra Club’s endorsement of the #FossilFuelTreaty comes just 48 hours ahead of a Senate Hearing in the State of California on a resolution that would see the world's largest subnational government also formally endorse the proposal. Image
For more detail on the push for a fossil fuel phase-out in California, read this excellent piece from @SierraClubCA Director Brandon Dawson published last week: latimes.com/opinion/story/…
If the resolution passes, California will join 80 subnational & city govts that have formally endorsed the #FossilFuelTreaty including

Hawai'i State Legislature
🇦🇺 Capital Territory
LA
London
Kolkata
Lima
Amsterdam
Paris
Ottawa
Barcelona
Vancouver
Brussels
Warsaw
Sydney
& more Image
The @SierraClub endorsement & momentum building in California comes just weeks after a bloc of Pacific island countries committed to

"call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and lead the creation of a global alliance to negotiate a new Treaty" fossilfueltreaty.org/fossil-free-pa… Image
Senior Director, International Climate & Policy Campaign at @SierraClub, @EcoBlaze made it clear that this was a call on California and the United States to join Pacific Island states in developing the #FossilFuelTreaty proposal. Image
The proposed #FossilFuelTreaty has 3 pillars:

❌ Non-Proliferation: end expansion of coal, oil & gas

📉 A Fair Phase Out: equitably wind down existing production in line with 1.5°C

☀️ A Global Just Transition to make sure no worker, community or country is left behind Image

A bloc of Pacific nation-states is calling for the negotiation of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

They have called for support to manage a just transition to a "Fossil Fuel Free Pacific"

Instead, Australia just approved a new coal mine 😡 #auspol
Last year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said “One of the ways that we increase our standing in the region, and in particular in the Pacific, is by taking climate change seriously."

Yet in the past 6 weeks, his government has approved 2 new coal mines.
Fossil fuels are the primary cause of the climate crisis, responsible for 86% of emissions in the past decade.

The International Energy Agency & the latest IPCC report have made it clear — to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, no new fossil fuel projects can be opened.

⚠️💀While the #Amazon urgently needs to be considered as a #FossilFuel Free Zone, the Peruvian government 🇵🇪 is giving #oil a new boost by promoting internationally a series of reserves that are home to 435 #indigenous communities.

ojo-publico.com/4416/nuevas-ar…
🛢️Without consulting local populations, @Perupetrosa promoted 31 areas with potential for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation to international investors meeting in Texas.

perupetro.com.pe/wps/portal/cor…
👀An investigation from @Ojo_Publico reveals that of the 31 areas, 25 are located in the #Amazon and overlap with 435 indigenous communities in Loreto, Ucayali and Madre de Dios, and two reserves for indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation #PIACI

🇨🇴 Colombia's leadership for a world free of fossil fuels and for a just energy transition is important at the national, regional and global levels. The recent commitment of the Ministry of the Environment is an important signal for the region and the world.
Follow the thread 🧵: Image
At the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia, @susanamuhamad, defended that there should be limits to the exploitation of #oil and #gas 👇
@susanamuhamad said that "to reduce emissions on the scale we need and to have a just energy transition, it is necessary to stop the proliferation of fossil fuels, especially oil and gas exploration in climate pillars such as the Arctic and the Amazon." Image

In the past 24hrs there's been excitement about #G7 headlines like this

But we need to talk about it 🧵

Past the headline the communiqué is rife with greenwash & inaction

🤔 These countries are still EXPANDING fossil fuels
⏰ No phaseout dates
🤯 There's a huge loophole
& more Image
🤔 These countries are still approving NEW fossil fuels

You're not phasing something out if you're still expanding it...

Despite the spin, G7 members continue to approve, subsidize & finance new fossil fuel projects.

We need a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
⏰ No phaseout dates

It's not a plan without a timeline.

We need nations that are
a) historically responsible for emissions &
b) in the best position to fund a transition

to not only end proliferation of fossil fuels, but transition away from coal, oil & gas first & fastest.

.@TIME has just named @petrogustavo one of 100 Most Influential People of 2023🇨🇴👏🏽

One of the reasons: the Colombian President's forward-thinking climate policy, which paves the way for building fossil fuel free future 🧵⬇️

time.com/collection/100…
@GabrielBoric 🇨🇱says of his Colombian counterpart:

“Gustavo dares to speak about complex issues [....] and the imperative to care for the environment in the context of a global climate crisis. He’s a leader who makes difficult decisions and learns fast.”

time.com/6189763/colomb…
In Latin American, where the extractivist economy is the rule, @petrogustavo’s proposal to phase-out #FossilFuels is indeed against the tide.
