It\u2019s modelled on the landmark UN Treaty on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/disarmament\/wmd\/nuclear\/npt\/\">Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons<\/a> agreed in the 1960s, and is built around the same three pillars: non-proliferation, disarmament and peaceful use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fossil fuel treaty would prevent new exploration and production, phase out existing stockpiles, fast track the transfer of clean energy to poorer nations, enable a just transition for workers and communities, and support economic diversification in countries still dependent on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International diplomatic efforts through the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and on a national level have focused on the demand for fossil fuels and ignored the problem of supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the UN\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/productiongap.org\/\">Production Gap report<\/a>, published in December, the world will need to cut fossil fuel production by about 6% per year between 2020 and 2030 to meet the maximum 1.5C temperature rise aimed for by the Paris Agreement. But countries are instead planning an average annual increase of 2%, the report found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaigners behind the FFNPT want to plug this gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carroll Muffett, president of the Center for International Environmental Law and a member of the campaign\u2019s steering committee, says corporate lobbying has stifled discussions about production at the UNFCCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">A treaty of this kind sends a powerful signal \u2013 both a moral signal and a market signal \u2013 to actors that this is where the world is going.<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\">Carroll Muffett, Center for International Environmental Law<\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFossil fuel producers have shaped a public narrative that says climate change is a result of seven billion individual decisions, as opposed to a relatively modest number of corporate actors and government decision-makers who have committed the world to a pathway based on fossil fuels. The ability to drive those conversations to focus on only one side of the equation has proven quite difficult to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muffett says the threat of nuclear war and the proliferation of landmines before the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty were both moments when the international community failed to respond decisively to a serious threat. \u201cDemands from civil society, coupled with a small number of high ambition actors, found a way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-little-acorns\">From little acorns <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the ultimate aim would be for national governments to sign the FFNPT, the committee is currently targeting sub-national jurisdictions. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.ca\/news-releases\/vancouver-first-city-in-the-world-to-endorse-the-fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty-843699223.html\">City of Vancouver<\/a> is the first public authority to endorse it, and New York and Los Angeles may soon follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe power of that is it allows those states that are willing to go further, faster to do precisely that,\u201d says Muffett. \u201cAnd at the same time, the simple act of discussion around a treaty of this kind sends a powerful signal \u2013 both a moral signal and a market signal \u2013 to actors that this is where the world is going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, Carbon Tracker and Global Energy Monitor announced the creation of a global registry of fossil fuels, an important step in making the treaty a reality. The aim is to develop the most detailed database of fossil fuel reserves to date. Existing databases are either lacking detail or publicly inaccessible, and countries are under no obligation to report existing, planned and potential production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob Schuwerk, executive director of Carbon Tracker North America, says the initial work will involve triangulating the data that does exist and encouraging governments to contribute more in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He acknowledges that problems with accessing information and language will be a barrier in countries such as China. Still, he says it is important to be as detailed as possible so the information can be used for allocating supply withdrawal through the mooted treaty. The aim is to publish an initial database around October, which will then be refined and expanded. Campaigners hope the UN could host it one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The registry may also highlight the different ways that countries contribute to fossil fuel proliferation, whether through direct extraction, oil and gas leasing operations, subsidies or overseas finance. \u201cThere\u2019s a deep disconnect between the internal commitments that countries are making and what they\u2019re doing with their overseas activities,\u201d says Muffett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px-1800x1200.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/KBM000272edit_2560px.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"A lone worker walks through the coal processing plants at Makomo Resources Coal mine in Hwange.

Is there a way to bring fossil fuels into the Paris Agreement? Absolutely. But can we wait for that to happen before moving forward on this initiative? We cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"36822\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Black points to Denmark\u2019s recent decision to deliberately pull out from North Sea oil and gas as a crucial moment that showed it would be possible for a national government to act on supply. \u201cInevitably, over time, we will see other governments deciding to wind down and eliminate their fossil fuel industries because we are looking indisputably at a dwindling global market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, for the first time, big oil producers like Shell and BP acknowledged that peak oil demand has come and gone \u2013 in late 2019. This marks a turnaround from their predictions last year when they still believed that demand for fossil fuels would continue to rise over the decade, a shift largely forced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/tag\/coronavirus\/\">coronavirus pandemic<\/a> rather than policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a growing recognition that oil and gas producers were already in systemic decline before the pandemic hit, and the pandemic has accelerated those forces,\u201d says Muffett. \u201cSo I think the moment for this movement and ultimately for the treaty has come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campaigners hope to end the expansion of fossil fuels across the world and wind down existing production by getting countries to sign
