WILPF and the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty have launched their groundbreaking report Stop Fossil Fuels from Fuelling Conflict: Why the FFNPT is an essential climate tool for peace. This is pioneering research on the intersection of fossil fuels, conflict, and peace. The paper delves into how fossil fuel dependencies exacerbate conflicts and highlights why the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is a vital tool for promoting global peace and addressing climate change.
Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty hosted a webinar to launch the report, with discussion exploring how resource extraction in nations rich in fossil fuels often leads to social tensions and conflicts in marginalised communities, underscoring the urgent need for climate policies that support peace and security. This webinar has kick-started a crucial dialogue on the link between fossil fuels and conflict, providing an opportunity to leverage this research to strengthen advocacy for the treaty.
