The threats posed by fossil fuels – both to our health and the global climate – are undeniable. And the answer is simple: no new fossil fuels.
It's time for us to collectively take action at the scale and urgency required to address the global climate crisis and the neighborhood impacts of fossil fuels – at every level of government. Local decision-makers have a responsibility to keep residents healthy and safe. We also need them to take action to keep our global climate safe from fossil fuels. It’s time to ask them to step up their leadership.
Momentum is growing worldwide for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and this form will help you look up and urge your local city council to endorse the idea and stop the spread of fossil fuels in your community.
Once your community takes this first step, it will be much easier to pass concrete local government policies to block the build-out of new fossil fuel infrastructure, speed up the clean energy transition, and create good, long-term jobs.
These policies – also known as SAFE (Stand Against Fossil Fuel Expansion) policies – can range from mandating all-electric new buildings to saying no to new fossil fuel extraction, storage, refining or export facilities. They could also include exploring ways to transform the local bus fleet to 100% electric vehicles and zoning out new gas stations.
Will you send a message to local lawmakers asking them to pass a resolution endorsing the Fossil Fuel Treaty and pledging to keep your community and the global climate safe from fossil fuel expansion?
