Athens, Greece joins the global call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty

Athens has officially joined 130 local governments and 18 major world capitals in endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. For years, the Greek Capital has been faced with record-breaking heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding risks, and it is taking action to address the root cause of the climate crisis. "Athens is experiencing the consequences of the climate crisis. By supporting this treaty, we aim to strengthen resilience and foster global cooperation to protect our future," said Mayor Haris Doukas.

This decision reflects strong public support. The Municipality of Athens used its Novoville digital engagement platform to survey its citizens. 981 citizens took part in the "Athens and Climate Change" survey and 61% of respondents said that climate change is now evident in the city all year round, 80% agreed that inter-municipal cooperation is needed to tackle the new reality and 90% of participants were in favour of cooperation with other cities in the world through the International Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Athens now joins cities like London, Paris, and Copenhagen in urging national governments to adopt a global framework to end fossil fuel expansion and ensure a just transition. Who wil be next?
