This is big news, John.
Last week we emailed you about the President of the Pacific island nation Vanuatu calling for governments to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Yesterday, the European Parliament — the governing body of the European Union — formally added its support calling on countries to “work on developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty” in a resolution passed ahead of the UN climate summit, COP27.
This proposed treaty aims to stop all new development of oil and gas, phase out existing fossil fuel production, and ensure workers are transitioned to a green economy in a fair way. It has already been backed by the World Health Organization, the Vatican, and 70 cities and subnational governments.
We need your help to mobilize our global movement to pass this treaty at COP27 that’s less than a month away. With enough resources, we can put pressure on every nation state, including the U.S., to join Vanuatu and the EU in supporting this treaty.
The #FossilFuelTreaty isn’t the only good news to come out of the European Parliament’s resolution. It also calls on nations to:
🏭 “phase out fossil fuels as soon as possible”
💰 “halt all new investments in fossil fuel extraction”
💸 “end fossil fuel subsidies”
This resolution proves that with enough organizing power, we can convince even more countries to sign on to the treaty. We already collected thousands of petition signatures calling on the U.S. to support the treaty.
But we’re going to need more support in order to ramp up the pressure in the U.S. — and in every country we work in — so that we can build enough momentum behind this treaty before COP27 begins in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on November 6.
Your donation will be put to work right away supporting our campaigners around the world as they organize actions, petitions, media pressure, and more, to pressure their government to support the treaty. Any amount makes a difference.
We’ll keep you posted about more ways you can help and let you know our progress in getting more commitments from countries around the world.
Thank you for reading.
– Team 350
