Tell the COP31 Presidencies: Phase Out Fossil Fuels and Deliver a Just Transition
In November, Türkiye and Australia will host this year's UN Climate Talks (COP31). For two weeks, they'll steer the negotiations that decide how fast and how fairly the world moves off coal, oil and gas. But both countries are among the very few industrialised nations with no deadline to stop burning coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel there is. And they're still expanding. Australia accounts for 56% of all the new coal mines planned worldwide. So far, their official COP31 plans and letters to governments haven't mentioned fossil fuels once. Meanwhile, millions of people are paying for it, with soaring energy bills, catastrophic floods and deadly heatwaves. It’s only going to get worse if governments don’t end their toxic relationship with the fossil fuel industry soon. The COP31 hosts must lead the world away from fossil fuels, but first they need to start at home. Add your name to tell Türkiye and Australia to: Set a date to quit coal and publish a national plan to move off all fossil fuels. Make COP31 about action. Turn years of promises into a real, fair shift to renewable energy that people can afford. Make sure rich, polluting countries and industries pay their share for a fair global energy transition that protects people and our planet.
