350.org Demands Fossil Fuel Phase-Out at COP31
Climate organization 350.org urges world leaders at the COP31 summit in Türkiye to establish binding milestones for phasing out fossil fuels and increasing climate finance.
The international climate organization 350.org is calling on world leaders at the COP31 UN climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, to establish a credible, time-bound pathway for phasing out fossil fuels. The organization is urging the Turkish and Australian COP31 presidencies to implement strict accountability measures and increase climate finance for developing nations.
Representatives from the group argue that communities in Türkiye, East Africa, and the Pacific are already facing immediate threats from wildfires, droughts, floods, and extreme heat. They demand a just transition that requires polluters to pay their fair share, insisting that binding targets be negotiated before the next summit, COP32, convenes in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Program managers from the organization emphasized that the climate crisis is an immediate threat to homes and cultures rather than a future scenario. They asserted that hosting the summit brings a responsibility to move the global energy system beyond fossil fuel dependence and to address the injustice of those least responsible for emissions carrying the greatest costs.
