From 350.org (https://350.org/):
We need your help to call on U.S. leaders to phase out fossil fuels in solidarity with the demands of the Pacific nations, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Signing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty would be a critical step to stop all new development of oil and gas, phase out existing fossil fuel production, help keep the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5ºC, and ensure workers are transitioned to a greener economy in a fair way.
We need 5,000 more signatures to show global momentum. Please join the call for the United States to support the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty at https://act.350.org/sign/vanuatu-fossilfuel-petition.
Pacific islands like Tuvalu are already facing dramatic climate effects from sea level rise to destructive hurricanes. They need urgent global climate action now so their countries can survive.
If we are serious about keeping warming under 1.5° C, we need to stop all new fossil fuel production and phase out current production immediately. But world leaders fell short of committing to phasing out fossil fuels at the UN climate conference, COP27.
The next step we can take is to get countries to sign the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. The European Union Parliament and Pacific nations are endorsing this. If the U.S. is truly the climate leader it claims to be, we need to stand in solidarity with these countries by committing to stop new fossil fuels.
