A treaty that could stop a suicidal race: time to act urgently.

In an unprecedented proposal, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative seeks to curb the expansion of oil, coal, and gas globally, shifting the focus from demand to supply as a strategy to combat climate change.

The initiative already has the support of more than 4,000 organizations , 120 cities, 101 Nobel Prize winners and more than 3,000 scientists, and negotiations are expected to be formalized at the upcoming COP 30 to be held in Belém.

Inspired by successful treaties such as those relating to landmines or chemical weapons, this proposal aims to delegitimize fossil fuels and create a global legal framework to curb their proliferation.

Countries like Brazil are analyzing the proposal, considering it a key element in promoting a just transition. Incentives such as debt relief and trade cooperation are being considered to support this transformation.

What does this mean for women? In a scenario where we are the first to be affected by pollution, energy inequality, and oil spills, this agreement could make a safer and more sustainable future possible.

This proposal represents hope and collective responsibility: it demands our active voice to promote real policies, ensure equitable access to clean energy, and defend a just transition for all.
