Description

A world without ecological destruction and endless greed can be achieved: with a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Hear from Alex Rafalowicz, Brenna Two Bears and more speakers as they talk about why they joined this fight for Mother Earth, moderated by Tom Goldtooth.

The Paris Agreement was not enough, climate policy is not enough, we need more. Through broken treaties, stolen land and culture, now is our time to join the call. Already they have endorsements from several Pacific Nations, like Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Fiji, and Tonga. As of November 2023, the European Parliament also voted to endorse the Treaty initiative as well. It is essential for our Indigenous people to get involved on the ground. Joining Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Campaign is the next step to curb the industry that puts our future at risk. Through it, we can ensure an Indigenous Just Transition.

Co-hosted by the Indigenous Environmental Network, Indigenous Climate Action, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, and the It Takes Roots Coalition. As the Indigenous Environmental Network, we do not support the extractive systems of any natural resource because they inevitably damage Mother Earth, our relatives, the plants and animals, and each other. Whether that is fossil fuels, hydrogen, or nuclear, we do not support it. Fossil fuel projects make up 86% of carbon emissions yet oil and gas projects are on the rise. We need to shut them down if we want a future for the next seven generations. Pipelines are dangerous for climate change, and they are dangerous for MAPA. It is not a question of if, but when a pipeline will burst.
