Summit of the Future Letter to Minister Ryan

The climate crisis is not just looming; it's here and at a critical tipping point. Fossil fuels, the primary culprit, are pushing us to the brink. Yet, the latest UN proposed agreement, called the  "Pact for the Future," which is to be agreed at the upcoming UN Summit in September, fails to address the urgent need to phase out fossil fuels and ensure a just transition for the most affected communities.

This Summit is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape global cooperation for the better. We've written to Minister Eamon Ryan calling on him to to stand up for our future by pushing for the inclusion of a clear commitment to end fossil fuel extraction and endorse the development of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

• Advocate for an end to new fossil fuel extraction and a just phase-out of existing production.
• Support financial and technological aid for countries reliant on fossil fuels to transition to renewable energy and sustainable economies.
• Call for an immediate ban on fossil fuel extraction in ecologically sensitive areas.
• Endorse the development of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to secure global cooperation on phasing out fossil fuels.
