September 11-15, 2023 marks a wave of climate protests in New York City, and echoed around the world. It will culminate in a huge march on Sunday, September 17 near the United Nations headquarters.

The wave has made its way all across the USA where we:

Context: What’s going on?

  • From September 15 to 17, millions of people around the world will take to the streets to demand a rapid, just, and equitable end to fossil fuels. 
  • This wave of global mobilisations will include the March to #EndFossilFuels fast, fast, forever in New York City on September 17, as world leaders attend the United Nations Secretary General’s Climate Ambition Summit.
  • The biggest cause of climate change are fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas. The fossil fuel industry and its enablers are responsible for the climate crisis and drive a predatory and destructive economic system that harms peoples and the planet. 
  • The science is clear: what the world needs now is a rapid and just transition to an efficient, fair, and universal energy system based on clean energy sources, and produced with respect for nature and the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities.
  • To have hope of addressing the root causes of the climate crisis, leaders of the biggest polluting countries must deliver a fast and fair fossil fuel phase out and fund it globally.
    Peoples and communities across the world have tirelessly campaigned against coal, oil, and gas for decades while the fossil fuel industry has known about the harm they cause and have used every trick to keep their profits flowing. 
  • The same industry is pushing harmful and dangerous distractions – carbon markets, offsets, and removals in the forms of so-called ‘nature based solutions’ and geoengineering meant to keep itself in business longer and not secure a livable future.
  • This is a call to solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and First Nations across the world who have been fighting the deadly fossil fuel industry and its enablers for decades. 
  • This September, the global climate justice movement will escalate our actions to strengthen and broaden existing movements and campaigns.

Together we will #EndFossilFuels – fast, fair and forever

What are Our 6 demands?

We must #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever. That means: 

  • No new fossil fuels – No new projects, finance – public or private- subsidies and no new approvals, licences, permits, or extensions. 
  • A rapid, just and equitable phase out of existing infrastructure in line with the 1.5C (2.7 F) temperature limit and a global plan, like a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, in order to ensure that each country does its fair part.
  • New commitments for international cooperation to drastically scale up financial and technology transfers to ensure renewable energy access, economic diversification plans, and Just Transition processes so that every country and community can phase out fossil fuels.
  • Stop greenwashing and claiming that offsets, CCS, nature based solutions or geoengineering are solutions to the climate crisis. 
  • Hold polluters responsible for the damage they’ve caused and make sure it’s coal, oil, and gas corporations that pay reparations for climate loss and damage and for local rehabilitation, remediation and transition through global corporate tax justice and accountability mechanisms.
  • End fossil fuel corporate capture. NO to corporations writing the rules of climate action, bankrolling or participating in climate talks, or undermining the global response to climate change.
