Dear Gep-ed colleagues,
I just added my name to this open letter from scientists, academics and researchers calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty<http://www.fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter> and I wanted to encourage you to join me. The fossil fuel system and its impacts are global and require a global solution. That’s why I have added my name to this call on governments to urgently commence negotiations to develop, adopt and implement a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty laying out a binding global plan to: * End new expansion of fossil fuel production in line with the best available science as outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Environment Programme; * Phase out existing production of fossil fuels in a manner that is fair and equitable, taking into account the respective dependency of countries on fossil fuels, and their capacity to transition; * Invest in a transformational plan to ensure 100% access to renewable energy globally, support fossil fuel-dependent economies to diversify away from fossil fuels, and enable people and communities across the globe to flourish through a global just transition. We can play an important role in building support and momentum for this bold proposal commensurate with the scale of the crisis the world is facing. I hope you will join me in adding your name to the open letter. You can read the text of the letter and sign on at www.fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter<http://www.fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter> With best wishes, Peter Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
