The webinar will discuss the international fight against fossil fuels, the hows and whys of the treaty itself, and crucially, how you can help make the treaty happen from wherever you are in the UK.
Though fossil fuel production was finally on the agenda at COP28, the outcome was far from what is gravely needed. The final text showed no clear commitment to phase out fossil fuels and was littered with loopholes, dangerous distractions and funding gaps.
A Fossil Fuel Treaty could change things. It would hold world leaders to account for taking real action to phase out fossil fuels and would act as a real commitment to action. It’s clear our current systems are not working - and our planet cannot afford any more tepid dither and delay.
It won’t be easy, but when we raise our voices together and take action in our communities, towns and cities, we can create pressure impossible to ignore in Westminster’s halls. As energy bills rise and oil and gas shareholders make billions; as air pollution chokes UK cities and extreme weather devastates countries in the global south, we’re saying enough is enough.
We refuse to bankroll the greed of a dying industry that’s taking our planet with it. It’s time for the UK to join the call for a global exit plan - will you join us?
