Our aim is to have Toronto council endorse the treaty at the July council meeting (Mike Layton will be introducing a motion). In addition to an endorsement, the motion will ask city council to write a letter to PM Trudeau asking the Canadian government to endorse the treaty and support its passage at the upcoming COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in November 2021. </p><p style="margin:0px;"><br> </p><p style="margin:0px;">We need to quickly spread the word as far and wide as possible.</p><p style="margin:0px;"><br> </p><p style="margin:0px;">Here is some more about the treaty:</p><p style="margin:0px;"><br> </p><p style="margin:0px;">Just as fifty years ago the world successfully negotiated a treaty to defuse the threats posed by the uncontrolled spread of nuclear weapons* the world today needs a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to address the threat posed by fossil fuels. The Paris Agreement makes no mention of fossil fuels, the words oil gas and coal do not appear, so we need a clear statement of understanding that fossil fuels must go.</p><p style="margin:0px;"><br> </p><p style="margin:0px;">This Treaty is a big, bold idea calling for unprecedented international cooperation in 3 main areas:</p><ol> <li><strong>Non-Proliferation</strong> – ending all new exploration and production of fossil fuels</li> <li><strong>Global Disarmament</strong> – phasing-out existing stockpiles in line with the 1.5ºC Paris goals</li> <li><strong>A Peaceful Transition </strong>– fast-tracking a just transition for every worker, community and country</li></ol><p style="margin:0px;"><strong>The concept of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is beginning to gain significant traction globally. </strong>Already hundreds of groups around the world have endorsed the Treaty, including organisations such as 350.org, World Future Council and Friends of the Earth, individuals including Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Mary Robinson, <a style="color:#243BB3;" href="https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/nQAMdZ6Aeg_efCe2/7bd111b545d0eb436b8bb321c3ca9b25" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>101 Nobel Laureates</strong></a> and even cities including Vancouver and New York City. </p><p style="margin:0px;"><br> </p><p style="margin:0px;">Based on the experience of similar multinational treaty efforts, such as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, this proposal will need a groundswell of civil society support around the world to gain traction with governments and diplomats.
