More than 100 towns and cities across the world now support the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. This includes some Scottish cities. Now it’s time local Council areas follow suit and endorse this proposal for a global plan to phase out fossil fuel production.
Cities and local councils in many countries are working hard to reduce their climate emissions but, the increase on fossil fuel infrastructure and production worldwide is undermining these efforts. That’s why council must speak up about the need for a Treaty.
Behind the scenes in the Scottish Borders, Ayrshire, Dundee, Glasgow and East Lothian have activists now speaking to their local Councillors trying to persuade them to endorse the treaty. The more Councils that support this action, the better pressure on the Scottish Government will follow suit.
