The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative: Meeting the Habitability Imperative

Tuesday 23 June, 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the British Academy, hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative.

From the disappearing coastlines of the Pacific to the flood plains of Europe and the drought-stricken communities of the Global South, fossil fuel-driven climate change is rapidly becoming a crisis of human habitability — threatening where people live, how they work, and what they leave to future generations.

This event will bring together Pacific and European ministers, international experts, and civil society to connect the dots between phasing out fossil fuel production and safeguarding our shared humanity, celebrate the momentum from the recent Santa Marta convening and inform what must happen next ahead of the second diplomatic conference hosted by the governments of Tuvalu and Ireland in 2027.

This is an essential conversation for leaders, practitioners and funders seeking to shape the next chapter of climate action in a fundamentally changed context, and to strengthen links between constituencies of the climate movement that have for too long been disconnected from each other.
