Today, Tuvalu has united with their Pacific neighbours Vanuatu in calling on other nation states to develop a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, a proposed international mechanism to effectively regulate fossil fuel production and pave a clear, fair pathway for a shift to renewables in order to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5ºC.

Climate Facts - - - The Caribbean contributes less than 1% to global greenhouse gas emissions, but is expected to be among the earliest & hardest-hit by climate change. - - - Floods, storm surges, erosion & other coastal hazards, exacerbated by sea-level rise, threaten vital infrastructures, settlements and facilities supporting our livelihood. - - - 28 of the 40 millions of Caribbeans live in coastal cities, towns & villages. - - - Deteriorating coastal conditions are expected to adversely affect fisheries and the Caribbean's value as a tourism destination. - - - CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS THE VERY EXISTENCE OF SOME CARIBBEAN ISLANDS. "Since 2009, more than a hundred Small Island Developing States, Least Developed Countries and many others have been calling for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels to prevent the worst of climate change impacts. The inclusion of a 1.5°C temperature limit in the 2015 Paris Agreement was a major victory for vulnerable countries." |
