This conference aims to explore perspectives and pathways towards a just, timely and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. This conference will address questions including:

  • What are the technical, political, social, and economic barriers to a just and equitable managed decline of fossil fuel use and production?

  • What policies could state and national governments enact or repeal to remove or overcome these barriers?

  • What processes might the international community need to create to resolve these dilemmas and to foster the courage and cooperation necessary to truly enable a global phase out of fossil fuels?

Bridges and Barriers to Fossil Fuel Phase Out is co-hosted by an evolving group including: The Ford Foundation, Asia Pacific Movement on Debt & Development, Carbon Tracker Initiative, Indigenous Climate Action, Center for International Environmental Law, Climate & Community Project, Global Climate & Health Alliance, #GWL Voices, Oak Foundation, Power Shift Africa, Oil Change International, Parliamentarians for Fossil-Free Future, GreenFaith, The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, Wallace Global Fund, Climate Action Network-International, New York Community Trust and The Commission Project.

The Commission Project is a new initiative to launch a World Commission on Fossil Fuel Phase Out.
