Washington State should call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty

Washington State is considering a resolution (HJM 4003) to formally endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and call for an end to oil and gas expansion.

Right now, the resolution is before the House Environment & Energy Committee and needs your support to ensure it gets sent to the House Floor for a full vote.

A Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is the solution the world needs right now to address the climate crisis with the scale and urgency that is required and is based around three principles:

Ending Expansion – No new coal, oil or gas exploration or production
A Fair Phase Out – An equitable, global phase out of existing fossil fuel production in line with our 1.5ºC climate target
Just Transition – Support economic diversification and a renewable energy transition so that no community, country or worker is left behind

If Washington State were to endorse, it would signal to the rest of the world that there are still people in the United States serious about addressing climate change – and it will put serious pressure on global leaders to begin negotiations around a global Fossil Fuel Treaty.

Will you message your Washington State House Representative and urge them to support HJM 4003 and endorse the Fossil Fuel Treaty proposal?
