SHA RE

Climate change, like nuclear weapons, is a major global threat. Bold and immediate action is needed to address the climate emergency. The main cause of the climate emergency is fossil fuels. Coal, oil and gas are responsible for almost 80% of all carbon dioxide emissions since the industrial revolution. Phasing-out fossil fuel production, and fasttracking progress towards safer and more costeffective solutions, will require unprecedented international cooperation in three main areas – nonproliferation, global disarmament and a peaceful transition.
