Faith: A fuel to the hope for a sustainable future
Barely two months before all this, we recall that the world—or at least all 198 parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—agreed that we need to be “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade.” This was the first time ever in three decades of the climate talks that a decision text finally acknowledged humanity’s reckless use of fossil fuels as the cause of the catastrophic climate changes we are confronting today. Over the last few years, at least a dozen country governments have endorsed what is called a Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty – which is a proposition for a concrete, binding plan to end the expansion of new coal, oil and gas projects and manage a global transition away from fossil fuels in the international sphere. In the aftermath of COP 28, Pope Francis’s wise words deeply resonates: “the most effective solutions” in the context of climate chaos, he says, “will not come from individual efforts alone, but above all from major political decisions on the national and international level.” September 21 this year has been declared a global day of action to join the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
