What leaders do between now and 2030 will shape our collective future. The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative offers a clear, coordinated plan to transition away from fossil fuels, addressing the world’s dangerous dependence on them while ensuring a just phaseout.

🚨BIG NEWS! Colombia will host the 1st Int'l Conference on the Phase-Out of Fossil Fuels in April 2026!

🌐Building on the success of previous diplomatic summits, it aims to facilitate a planned, just, and sustainable phase-out of #fossilfuels.

More to come at #COP30!

πŸ“¬ Responding to the latest #COP30 Presidency letters, @rebeccathissen.bsky.social (CAN International) ‬is clear:

A true β€œImplementation COP” & β€œPeople’s COP” needs adequate public finance - not just private promises.

Without it, there’s no #JustTransition. ✊

β€œOne thing is clear: ignoring the urgent need for high-quality, grant-based public finance is naive at best β€” willfully blind at worst. With #COP30 ahead, developed countries must bring concrete plans to scale up climate finance.” @rebeccathissen.bsky.social
