Antigua and Timor-Leste join the call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, strengthening the global push against fossil fuels.
Timor-Leste President José Ramos-Horta and Brianna Fruean onstage during Global Citizen Festival 2023 at Central Park on September 23, 2023, in New York City.Two island nations on Saturday joined the growing bloc of countries endorsing a fossil fuel nonproliferation treaty amid a worsening climate emergency and continued inadequate action by the larger and wealthier polluters most responsible for causing the planetary crisis.
Their announcement came on the main stage at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City. The nations became the first non-Pacific island states to support the treaty; Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Tonga, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and the self-governing New Zealand territory of Niue previously endorsed the agreement.
“The climate crisis is the most existential threat facing all humanity,” declared Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne. “It doesn’t distinguish between European forests and Caribbean waters. Some carry the burden more than others, as in the case of small island developing states. This is why today I’m honored to announce that Antigua and Barbuda join our Pacific friends in calling for a negotiation of a fossil fuel treaty.
