The climate emergency has been widely acknowledged.

Climate change driven extreme weather events are increasing on every continent 

Yet there has been no emergency response, and emissions continue to be increased every year.


This website  is intended to address the situation and the response

Dr. Peter Carter,

This site has the comprehensive proof of the now dire planetary emergency and that the world economy has the world on a fast track for biosphere collapse.

                     2026 Historic international climate change conference- transitioning from fossil fuels 

The April 2026 Santa Marta  (Colombia) Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels international conference was the very first to address fossil fuels, the primary cause of global climate change. It was a great success, with real hope for our future, and will progress to annual conferences, with ongoing work to phase out fossil fuels -fast, fair and funded- in the urgent transition off fossil fuel to 100% clean energy. The conference was proposed by the Fossil Fuel Treaty project.  

11 Oct 2021. UN Sec, General, If we do not change course by 2020, we risk missing the point where we can avoid runaway climate change, with disastrous consequences for people and all the natural systems that sustain us.

Some statements by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres

The single latest most important finding of the science, from the 6th Assessment of the IPCC, is that for both 2°C and 1.5°C

global emissions had to be in decline by 2025, at the latest.
