In this episode, we sit with Osprey Orielle Lake and dig into the topics she explores in her book The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis as well as her work with the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN). We discuss worldviews as a portal to different ways of knowing and being that resist the extractive and exploitative logics underpinning capitalism; origin stories and the ways in which what Osprey calls “dominant culture” alienates us from nature and one another; feminism and the intersections of feminism and climate justice; land back, the rights of nature, and the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty.

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Osprey Orielle Lake, author of: The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis & Founder of the Women's Earth & Climate Action Network. As Einstein stated: “We can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it” & In this thought provoking conversation, Osprey encourages us to reflect on our society, to travel upstream to consider the dominant worldviews of our time & how they evolved to lead our society to where we now stand surrounded by multiple interlocking crisis. It is a journey that requires us to come with courage, open minds & hearts, but that is critical in ensuring we equip ourselves with a new mind, set free of the dominant worldviews of dominion over land & nature, patriarchy, colonialism & racism that have created the challenges we must now resolve. Osprey's life work supporting & advocating for the rights of Indigenous people's around the world shows that change is already happening. There are courageous people who are holding a vision for a different worldview which is already helping to create encouraging changes through powerful initiatives like Rights For Nature. Osprey shares many stories of the brave women who have stood up to large corporations & governments around the world to defend nature, their ancestral lands & sovereignty, ultimately for the benefit of us all, as 80% of all bio-diversity left on Earth is currently stewarded by Indigenous people's on Indigenous lands. To all of you, who have braved punishment & persecution, I dedicate this episode to you with my heartfelt thanks for your courage & determination in the face of adversity, I hope this message encourages others to use our voices as we remember our role as a keystone species under who's stewardship nature can thrive.Learn more about OspreyFounder & executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), Osprey Orielle Lake works internationally with grassroots, BIPOC & Indigenous leaders, policymakers, & diverse coalitions to build climate justice, resilient communities, & a just transition to a decentralized, democratized clean-energy future.She sits on the executive committee for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature & on the steering committee for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

As countries around the world become more serious about reducing carbon emissions to meet international targets, many are still approving new oil and gas projects, committing us to increased global warming. Yet an increasing number of countries are taking a stand to leave those future emissions in the ground, even at the expense of their own profits.  Last year, Ecuadorians voted to halt the development of new oil wells in the Yasuní National Park in the Amazon, keeping around 726 million barrels of oil underground. Meanwhile, Costa Rica and Denmark have created the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance to facilitate the managed phase-out of oil and gas production. And a group of at least 13 countries – including many island nations – but also notable oil and gas-rich countries like Colombia – are calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty as a complement to the Paris Agreement. Can more nations set aside valuable profits from fossil fuel resources in favor of our collective desire for a livable climate? This episode also features a story on Yasuní National Park produced by Mateo Schimpf and reported by Kimberly Brown.

Once in a while, a book comes along that changes how we see the world, that re-sets something fundamental in who we are and our capacity to engage with the Web of Life.  Braided Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer was one of these: at once poetically beautiful, spiritually inspiring and deeply thought-provoking. And now Osprey Orielle Lake has written 'The Story is in our Bones: How Worldview and Climate Justice can Remake a World in Crisis'.  This is a genuinely beautiful book on every level: full of living mythology, opening doors to how the bones of our language make the world around us, offering other perspective, other ways of being, living stories of where we came from and who we are and who we could be.  It's deeply honouring of Indigenous wisdom from around the world, and of the struggle of all those who suffer most and have done least to unleash the poly crisis that is so obviously impacting our world. The author is an extraordinary person, founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) which was created to accelerate a global women's movement for the protection and defense of the Earth's diverse ecosystems and communities. She sits on the executive committee for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature whose goal is to 'transform our human relationship with our planet' and on the steering committee for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, which is modelled on the Nuclear non-proliferation treaties of the last millennium, and seeks to manage a global transition to safe, renewable and affordable energy for all. In short, she works internationally with grassroots, BIPOC and Indigenous leaders, policymakers, and diverse coalitions to build climate justice, resilient communities, and a just transition to a decentralized, democratized clean-energy future. This is one of those conversations that dived deep into the heart of what really matters - how we bring ourselves to a place of genuine connection with the Web of Life  - in time - and in ways that will create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.  We could have talked for hours, and I have no doubt we'll come back again, but in the meantime, please enjoy the many layers of being and belonging that Osprey brings to all her work.

Episode Summary In this new episode of Driving Impact, we speak to Dr. Tzeporah Berman, International Program Director Stand.earth & Chair at Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, on the importance of reducing fossil fuel production and the need for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.  An experienced climate activist, Dr Berman emphasizes the role of citizens in advocating for change, such as contacting elected officials, organizing petitions, and participating in marches. Dr. Berman also highlights the work of Stand.earth, an organization that analyzes data on various sectors and campaigns for change. She encourages individuals to support the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and engage with organizations working towards climate action.  Reaching 1.5 degrees of warming signifies a critical moment in our planet's history, highlighting the urgent need for ambitious and collective action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to unavoidable impacts, and build a more resilient and sustainable future for generations to come. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the outcomes of COP28 and the ongoing efforts to address climate change. In this conversation, we discuss various environmental issues and conservation efforts. We highlight California's lawsuit against the oil industry and its commitment to the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty.  We emphasize the importance of raising awareness and mobilizing public support for environmental causes. There are simple actions each individual can take: 1) contact elected officials & organizations about the change you would like to see (i.e.: your vote matters), 2) organize petitions for climate change and 3) Reduce your carbon footprint, and 4) Participate in marches  Takeaways: Reducing fossil fuel production is crucial for addressing climate change. Citizens can make a difference by contacting elected officials, organizing petitions, and participating in marches. Stand.earth analyzes data on various sectors and campaigns for change. Supporting the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is a powerful way to advocate for reducing fossil fuel production. COP28 highlighted the need for stronger action on climate change. California is suing the oil industry for hiding information about climate change and weakening environmental laws. California has signed onto the Fossil Peel Treaty, demonstrating its commitment to addressing climate change. Raising awareness and mobilizing public support are crucial for conservation efforts. Individuals can make a difference by reducing their carbon footprint and engaging with elected officials and organizations.

Exmouth has become the fifth UK council to endorse the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to address food impacts on the climate emergency, joining climate leaders Edinburgh, Norwich, Lambeth and Haywards Heath. In a statement issued by Exmouth Town Council, they said, "Exmouth Town Council has declared its commitment to making Exmouth cleaner, greener and healthier by endorsing the call for the Plant Based Treaty. This endorsement was made as part of their Climate Action Plan, which aims to combat the climate crisis and make the town a thriving, zero-carbon community." Exmouth aims to reduce carbon footprint Exmouth resident and Town Councillor, Louise Venables, expressed her pride in the town's efforts to become a zero-carbon community and the importance of endorsing the Plant Based Treaty at a critical time, "Switching to an increasingly plant-based diet is the simplest and one of the most effective actions we can take to reduce our carbon emissions. Plant-based diets can also improve health, remedy biodiversity, improve animal welfare, and be financially beneficial. Andrew Garner, Plant Based Treaty UK campaigner, said, "2023 was the world's hottest year on record, and Exmouth has rightfully recognised the importance of plant-based food solutions and rewilding to address multiple planetary crises. Their climate leadership in calling for a Plant Based Treaty offers hope that we can address food emissions which account for a third of greenhouse gas emissions. In the Plant Based Treaty motion, which passed at a full council meeting in December, Exmouth committed to a number of plant-based food and rewilding policies: Promote plant-based foods. Include campaigns/activities to encourage a switch to plant-based foods in our Climate Action Plan Design public information campaigns to raise awareness about the climate and the environmental advantages and health benefits of plant-based food, nutrition and cooking Aim to reduce the public's consumption of animal-based food through education in schools, organisations and local businesses Transition to plant-based meal plans when catering for climate-related meetings, events etc. Help to restore key ecosystems and reforest the earth. Support reforestation projects and convene a tree forum to provide transparency and encourage collaboration between stakeholders in Exmouth Focus shift on nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation (in ETC's consultative planning role) Cities: support initiatives to increase trees and wildflowers, increase green community projects, wildlife corridors, green rooftops, local growing schemes, work towards biodiversity increases (in our consultative planning role and in our environment policy) Enhance food justice by supporting projects that provide access to healthy food for all, especially low-income communities (support projects like Mushroom, a food community network in Exmouth) Background The Plant Based Treaty is modelled on the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and inspired by treaties that have addressed the threats of ozone layer depletion and nuclear weapons. It has been endorsed by 24 municipalities worldwide, including Edinburgh, Norwich, Lambeth, Exmouth, Haywards Heath and Los Angeles. Since its launch in August 2021, the initiative has received support from 130,000 individual endorsers, 5 Nobel laureates, IPCC scientists, and more than 3000 groups and businesses, including Veganuary, Ecotricity, Linda McCartney Foods, Plant Based Health Professionals, UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, and chapters of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. The Plant Based Treaty has secured high-profile endorsements from celebrities, including Chris Packham and Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney, who issued a written statement calling for politicians to support the Plant-Based Treaty. They said: "We believe in justice for animals, the environment and people. That's why we support the Plant Based Treaty and urge individuals and gove...

Tyson Miller, Director of Earth Insight unpacks the escalating threats of oil and gas expansion in the Amazon and Congo Basin regions. Drawing from the Earth Insight's reports "Congo in the Crosshairs: New Oil & Gas Expansion Threats to Forests and Communities" "Crisis Point: Oil and Gas Expansion Threats to Amazon and Congo Basin Tropical Forests and Communities" and an article from The Guardian, we discovered that Africa's oil and gas territories could quadruple, threatening to wipe out a third of the dense tropical forests and accelerating climate change. One thing is clear: polluting countries must step up to rapidly decarbonize their own economies. Tyson doesn't just highlight problems but also offers solutions. From the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty's efforts to halt fuel expansion to the push for banks to champion against fossil fuel projects, Tyson shines a light on pathways to counter these looming threats.

A fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty is exactly what is needed to switch off the fossil fuel pipelines that are driving crazily hot temperatures, flash flooding, and droughts that directly threaten the global food production system. [Join now to get full episodes early: https://genn.cc or https://patreon.com/genncc ] In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with the Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, Tzepora Berman. Tzepora and her colleagues are designing the framework by which we can begin to switch off the fossil fuel supply that is the root cause of what is a real-time climate emergency.

Have you wondered how after seven years since the implementation of the Paris Agreement, globally, we seem to be slipping further into worse climate circumstances? It may (in the girls' opinion: ABSOLUTELY) have to do with the Paris Agreement and COP27 omitting fossil fuels from their essence. This omission prompted the creation of an accompanying treaty to patch the pothole: the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Could this treaty put the breaks to the emission crisis train? Check out the treaty here: https://fossilfueltreaty.org/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/17/pacific-nations-push-for-global-backing-of-fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty#:~:text=The%20signatory%20countries%20%E2%80%93%20Vanuatu%2C%20Tuvalu,global%20heating%20to%201.5C.  https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/  https://press.un.org/en/2023/sgsm21730.doc.htm

In this 4th episode of the 6th season of Planet A, Dan Jørgensen talks to Dr. Angela Carter, who is a leading expert on phasing out fossil fuels.They discuss the risks of fossil fuel dependency, especially for the least developed countries, the need to align fossil fuel production with our climate imperative, and the importance of global commitments to keep fossil fuels in the ground. These international efforts include the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) and the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.They also touch on the closely related subject of a people-centered clean energy transition and how to support workers and communities in moving away from the fossil fuel industry and into green energy jobs.Angela Carter is an associate professor at the Department of Political Science and Balsillie School of International Affairs at the University of Waterloo. Carter is also an energy transitions specialist at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). She is known for her interdisciplinary research on environmental policies and politics surrounding Canadian fossil fuel development and the ecological and political-economic risks of fossil fuel dependence. She recently published the award-winning book FOSSILIZED: Environmental Policy in Canada's Petro-Provinces.Carter is engaged in public debate on climate politics and has served as a member of the Net-Zero Advisory Council, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

In this episode, Lily reflects on the COP27 outcomes - both positive and negative - with the pioneering activist Tzeporah Berman. Tzeporah co-founded Stand.Earth, led successful logging blockades in British Colombia; and more recently launched the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty in 2021 which gained significant momentum in COP27. Lily and Tzeporah also discuss carbon pricing in Canada; the emotional toll and work of climate activism; and visions of the future.Links Tzeporah Berman's  TED talk CreditsAudio Editor: Dizplay StudiosMusic by Cosmo SheldrakeWho Cares Wins intro: Kelsey BennettArtwork: Bethan Sherwood

Hello! Ed's just come back from COP27 where he was roving with his mic. He spoke to some experts on how we shift to zero carbon power and break our dependency on fossil fuels. We talk to Kingsmill Bond about why the transition to renewables makes economic sense. Tzeporah Berman tells us about the potential of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to constrain supply. And Mohamed Adow tells us why the continent of Africa could lead the way in becoming a renewable energy superpower, and what that means for its development.GuestsKingsmill Bond, Energy Strategist, Rocky Mountain Institute (@KingsmillBond) (@RockyMtnInst)Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (@tzeporah) (@fossiltreaty)Mohamed Adow, Director, Power Shift Africa (@mohadow) (@PowerShftAfrica)More infoRead about past and current peaks in fossil fuel demand (RMI)Visit Kingsmill Bond's website to read about the drivers of change for the transition to renewables and the myths of the incumbencyListen to Kingsmill on the Volts PodcastLearn more about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation TreatyAccess the Global Registry of Fossil Fuels (Carbon Tracker; Global Energy Monitor)Watch Tzeporah's TED TalkVisit Power Shift Africa's Website Hosted on Acast.

0:22 | Premier Danielle Smith wins a seat in the Alberta Legislature with a by-election win in Brooks-Medicine Hat. Further south, forecasts for a "red wave" through the US midterm elections failed to materialize, but some Republicans still saw big wins. Ryan opens the show with a few key storylines we're following. 3:24 | Environmental activist Tzeporah Berman steps out of meetings at COP27 to join Real Talk live from Egypt. She tells us about her call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and assesses global response to climate change-related disasters around the world. We talk forestry, mining, water, animal agriculture, and more.  CHECK OUT THE TREATY: https://fossilfueltreaty.org/ 33:21 | In politics, a win is a win is a win. Did Danielle Smith win by *enough* in the Brooks-Medicine Hat to quiet her critics? Does securing less vote percentage than the UCP candidate in 2019 serve as a warning to Alberta's premier? Ryan runs through what pundits and the general public is saying the morning after the by-election.  41:15 | Municipal politicians are closest to their constituents by far. They're most often the ones fielding complaints at the gas pump or the grocery store. We ask our Alberta Municipalities Real Talk Round Table panelists Mayor Cathy Heron (St. Albert), Mayor Tanya Thorn (Okotoks), and Councillor Dylan Bressey (Grande Prairie) for their initial impressions on Premier Smith's by-election win, then expand the conversation to cover the urban/rural relationship. What do rural communities need most? How do they get it? Heck, what even is a "rural" community?

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW24TH OCTOBER 2022Produced by Vivien LangfordON THE ROAD TO SHARM EL SHEIKHLOSS AND DAMAGE AND FOSSIL FUEL NON PROLIFERATION FOR COP27 The Financial Times ' Camilla Hodgsen reports that "Many developing countries, such as the low-lying Pacific island states vulnerable to sea level rise, are stepping up their demands. They want to see the creation of an international loss and damage finance facility — a type of fund — at November's COP27 UN summit, hosted by Egypt. “Wealthier countries bear a moral responsibility” to help poorer nations recover, adapt and build resilience to disasters, said António Guterres, UN secretary-general on Friday. “Let's not forget that 80 per cent of emissions driving this type of climate destruction are from the G20.”The ARRCC multifaith Climate event at Parramatta Cathedral called on  Prime Minister Albanese to support the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty at Cop 27. To stop subsidies to fossil fuel producers and to prevent new coal and gas projects.Maria Timon  talks to us about her sacred places in Kiribati, including a cemetery now under water. She spoke about the repeated diplomatic pleas from Pacific Nations for Australia to stop fuelling climate disaster. This event was echoed all around the worldIn Indonesia, activists are biking across the country calling for an end to coal! In France, communities of faith will come together to boldly call for TotalEnergies to Stop Tilenga Oil Field and Stop EACOP. In Port Harcourt, Nigeria, faith leaders hosted a dialogue on gas flaring and visited communities bearing the burden of crude oil extraction. "We can't drink oil!" Despite intimidation and threats, 200+ people of various faiths took action in Uganda and Tanzania to stop the EACOP and Tilenga oil megaproject, calling out Total Energies and the governments involvedPeople of Diverse Faiths Call for an End to EACOP | GreenFaith Paul Newman speaks to us about really caring for country. The Venerable Bhante Sujato meditates with staff at CSIRO. He speaks of the distress they feel, giving  the the most accurate information to governments only to see insufficient action in response. Children are distressed too and he says No wonder. "We have burnt their future". His challenge to us is to recognise that we have created this world of emissions and not to see ourselves as victims of circumstance. We talk to Dorothy Guerrereo from Global Jutice Now about her parents in the Philippines moving twice to escape ever greater flooding in this most vulnerable nation of islands. She will report to us after attending the COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh and her hope is that the finances by then will be flowing.Paying for loss and damage is one sort of financing.Paying for the transition to energy efficient buildings, and renewable energy infrastructure is another. GuestsDorothy Guerrereo - Global Justice Now https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/event/cop27-climate-justice-mobilisations/https://www.quaker.org.uk/blog/silence-and-hope-a-witness-to-the-impact-of-climate-breakdown Paul Newman - Wiradjuri Elder speaking at Parramatta Cathedral https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/781887/EXT5218_Yarramundi_Lecture_GOK_Book_Paul.pdf Ven Bhante Sujato - Senior Theravadan Monk from The monastery at the end of the world.https://lokanta.github.io/ Maria Timon  - Pacific Calling Partnership.https://www.erc.org.au/pcp_values Music : Sent to us by Dorothy this is a song from the Philippines :Magkaugnay (Artist: Joey Ayala) – this song celebrates biodiversity and the interconnected of humans and nature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qESfxmQgYoU   

Scientists are reporting that there is now more carbon dioxide in the air than ever before, and with OPEC recently agreeing to accelerate oil production following pressure from the Biden administration to stabilize global markets, what gives? And with cracks showing in the EU as energy prices start to bite, is there a way through this crisis that keeps us on track with the goals of the Paris Agreement? Our guest this week has her own solution. We speak to Tzeporah Berman about her journey to form the big and bold Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and what the impact is of the Stockholm 50+ President's communique calling for a phase out of coal, oil and gas.

In the past year the number of companies committing to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 has exploded. With the fifty largest companies by value accounting for 28% of global GDP, corporate action is critically important if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. But what does a net zero commitment for a company mean in practice? What distinguishes the good from greenwashing, and can we even tell from the outside? What are the risks and opportunities for a company making a net zero commitment in the first place?Join David, Sara, Ed, and special guest Dr. Gabrielle Walker, Founder and Director of Valence Solutions, as they journey to net zero on Episode 28 of Energy vs Climate.EPISODE NOTES:@1:10 Dr. Gabrielle Walker, @GabrielleWalk3r@4:20 Offshore wind farms could double as electric charging…@6:20 BMW Group significantly increases use of low-carbon steel@6:39 Fact Sheet: Biden-Harris Administration Advances Cleaner Industrial Sector@7:00 Biden launches ‘Buy Clean' task force to boost greener manufacturing@7:11 EU set to race ahead of UK in green steel production@8:03 Volvo's Dump Truck Takes Shape From World's First Green Steel - Bloomberg, Mercedez-Benz to use low-carbon steel@16:11 Microsoft announces it will be carbon negative by 2030 - Stories@16:27 Race To Zero Campaign | UNFCCC@28:00 Energy Transitions Commission | Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050@31:02 Carbon Emissions Factor Into Major Oil Sands Shakeup | Climate Central@33:00 IEA says ending new oil and gas exploration today is the only viable climate path@37:16 Fuels: old and new – World Energy Outlook 2021 – Analysis - IEA@38:01 BP's Strategic Shift To Renewables@41:44 Europe Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism@44:20 Gabrielle Walker | Speaker | TED@45:27 The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOW - OCTOBER 4TH 2021Produced by Vivien Langford ON THE ROAD TO GLASGOW Episode 2 Guests:Violet CoCo and Sasha Steindl from Extinction Rebellion - RECLAIM OUR FUTURE this October - Action Network A/Professor Rob Eisenberg - from Vote Earth Now - Vote Earth Now Rebecca Byrnes from The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org) The pressure is on for politicians in the month we have before COP 26 in Glasgow.  If you have never contacted the PM or your MP before, now is the time , according to all four of our guests. Extinction Rebellion will be  escalating actions in Canberra as our Parliament sits. Their campaign is called (20+) Reclaim Our Future | Facebook Even if you are in lockdown you can phone  MPs,  Contact Your PM | Prime Minister of Australia or phone Scott Morrison's office on  (02) 6277 7700. At a webinar from The Climate and Health Alliance I learned that . "Health professionals are far more concerned about climate change than the general public. They feel frustrated, outraged and sad when thinking about it".  Apparently midwives are among the most alarmed. They want to talk about climate change but feel insufficiently informed . It was pointed out to us by Rebecca Huntley, that fossil fuel lobbyists are not so shy and that armed with information and support ,medical professionals are the most trustworthy messengers to convey positive messages about the health benefits of climate action.The "Real Urgent and Now" survey of Medical Professionals is worth reading and passing on RUN_Survey__September_2021c.pdf (d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net)Meanwhile in London Doctors protest outside JP Morgan offices to demand they end fossil fuel investments — Doctors for Extinction Rebellion (doctorsforxr.com)‘It's my duty as a doctor': XR medics glued to bank demand end of fossil fuel investment | The Independent We speak to Rob Eisenberg whose day job is as an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon and  A. Professor in Public Health at Ndewcastle University. He was motivated to create Vote Earth Now by his belief that we must make our government more accountable.Just one click and you can send a message to the political parties that you are a climate voter Vote Power - Vote Earth Now . Let them know you are watching how they ramp up their climate plans before Glasgow. At a global level there will also be pressure on Fossil Fuel Producing nations to wind back their industry.  The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org) is a breath takingly well connected new organisation. They will be at Glasgow arguing that it's not just getting emissions down we need,  but phasing out the production of coal oil and gas. The UN Report  about the production gap between Paris committments and what  the fossil fuel industry is actually planning will put out a new edition before Glasgow.2020 Home - Production Gap report shows that global fossil fuel production needs to fall by 6% each year from 2020.Meanwhile the industry is planning at least a 2% INCREASE and Australia is actively signing up new countries for locking in long term coal and gas use. Feeling the Heat | Australian Foreign Affairs, We speak to Rebecca Byrnes from The Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty about phasing out subsidies and investing in a transformational plan to ensure 100% access to clean energy on a global scale.

Michael Poland (pictured) began working in 2019 to build global support for a fossil fuel treaty and the Melbourne-based activist is now part of a worldwide strong team committed to seeing the embrace of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Michael happily admits that the fossil fuels treaty is not the "silver bullet" when it comes to resolving the climate crisis, rather it is just another of the many tools needed to slow the crisis, help both individuals and society generally avoid an ever-worsening state of affairs and make the world a safer and more just place.
