Preliminary Report: Initial Findings and Recommendations
Developing renewable energy and reducing emissions are at the heart of solutions to the climate crisis but, in the just transition to clean energy, it is key to actively and decisively phase out fossil fuels.
The Parliamentarians for a Fossil Fuel-Free Future has conducted a Global Parliamentarians’ Inquiry to examine the progress of efforts to transition away from fossil fuels as the primary energy source. Three public hearings were held in September, October 2023, December in New York City, in Washington, DC, and at COP28 in Dubai respectively, with more planned in the near future.
The parliamentarians’ call to shift away from fossil fuels and accelerate development of clean and renewable energy in a just and equitable manner has to date been signed by more than 800 members of parliament from 85 countries. The world’s parliamentarians are in a unique position in global efforts to address the climate crisis because they have the mandate and responsibility to represent the people.
