The Bishops' Conference of Scotland have released a statement encouraging world leaders to establish a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, to commit all nations to a rapid and just transition away from fossil fuels.

The statement, which is released today to mark the COP29 climate summit currently underway in Azerbaijan, calls on Scotland to play its role in realising the common good by participating in a swift transition away from fossil fuels, underpinned by a just transition for workers.

Archbishop William Nolan, President of Justice & Peace Scotland and of the Bishops' Conference of Scotland's Care of Creation Office said: "I welcome the statement and urge governments at COP29 to overcome national interests and pledge themselves to concrete action now.”

The full text of the statement can be read below.

📢URGENT ACTION

On 28 October 2024, the Israeli government passed a Bill banning UNRWA, the Palestinian refugee agency, from operating in Israel and Palestine. Our friends EAPPI UK & Ireland say: "This will paralyse the agency’s ability to provide life-saving humanitarian aid and other essential services at this time of immeasurable need. Humanitarian organisations around the world are united - no other agency can provide the aid at the scale and speed that’s needed in Gaza. The consequences of banning the agency’s operations will be catastrophic - we must act now."
