Just Transition from fossil fuels for workers, communities and economies

Fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate emergency and we all must strive to replace them with greener options of energy and development. However the situation is a little complex. Many workers, communities and countries remain dependent on fossil fuels for economic reasons and access to energy and therefore a new paradigm of Just Transition is the need of the hour. 

​

Satat Sampada has joined hands with the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FFNPT) initiative to demand immediate action for an equitable phase out of fossil fuel production, promote safer and more cost-effective alternatives, and a global just transition through international cooperation. 

​

We coordinated an extensive consultation and desk research process to identify a set of normative Values and Ideals that underpin the development of a legal framework for the Fossil Fuel Treaty. Key stakeholders engaged were civil society groups, networks and campaigns that work on human rights, labour and just transition, gender, peace and security, health, faith groups, youth, indigenous groups across various regions.

 

In collaboration with civil society organizations and a range of political stakeholders, we generate momentum for a Treaty campaign to promote human rights, energy security, equity, and climate justice.​
