Fossil fuel expansion is outpacing climate targets. Tzeporah Berman joins me to explain why we need a global treaty to stop it. Fast.
In this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, to talk about a subject most climate policies still avoid, fossil fuel production.
We all know we need to cut emissions. But what happens when governments keep approving new oil, gas, and coal projects while claiming to be climate leaders?
Tzeporah lays out the case for a global treaty to phase out fossil fuels, explains why the Paris Agreement alone won’t get us there, and shares how countries like Colombia are stepping up to lead, while wealthier nations lag behind.
We discuss:
✅ The missing half of climate policy: supply-side action
✅ Why net zero has become a loophole for delay
✅ The $7 trillion in fossil fuel subsidies warping the market
✅ Just transition, energy justice, and support for the Global South
If you’re serious about climate strategy, policymaking, or sustainability, this is a must-watch.
