Jessica Gregory Phasing out fossil fuels by 2030 would mark a dramatic shift, not just in energy policy, but in national identity. It would align Australia with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and position it as a leader in the global transition away from fossil fuels.Australia’s Race to Quit Fossil Fuels by 2030…

Carlos Alexandre de Oliveira A path for Brazil to gradually eliminate fossil fuel use by 2030, built on three core pillars: production, consumption, and international trade.Brazil likes to present itself to the world as a green powerhouse: it has one of the most renewable electricity mixes on the planet, with large hydropower, wind, and solar…

Diane Szoller If Canada is to align with the global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, which aims to phase out fossil fuels in line with Paris Agreement targets, Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) target of a 45% reduction below 2005 levels requires an immediate overhaul and strong implementation. Canada has made progress, yet often…

Vincent Mao China stands at a critical juncture in its climate journey. While the nation leads the world in renewable energy installation, its heavy reliance on coal remains the primary obstacle to the goals of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. To align with a pathway, China must shift from “peaking before 2030” to an aggressive…

Camille Huret France has the means to phase out fossil fuels by 2030—but doing so will require accelerating existing policies and making firm political choices. The following plan supports the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative:Today, France produces almost no fossil fuels domestically. Oil production is marginal, coal mining has already stopped, and most energy needs…

Monique de Ritter This plan is an advocacy-style roadmap inspired by the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. Germany needs an ambitious national plan to achieve complete fossil fuel independence by 2030.  This plan is an advocacy-style roadmap inspired by the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, following endorsements from cities such as Bonn, Mannheim, Göttingen, Heidelberg, and Marburg. This…

Ankita Padelkar India’s energy strategy prioritizes an equitable, development-oriented transition rather than a rapid fossil-fuel phase-out.India’s energy strategy prioritizes an equitable, development-oriented transition rather than a rapid fossil-fuel phase-out. The government maintains fossil fuels (primarily coal) as essential for energy security, industrial growth, and reliable baseload power while aggressively expanding renewables. This approach aligns with…

Netra Naik Indonesia should implement an immediate moratorium on new coal, oil, and gas exploration licenses by 2026, followed by a structured phase-out of existing production.Indonesia stands at a critical turning point in its energy transition. As one of the world’s largest coal producers and exporters, the country plays a significant role in global emissions….

Delmaria Richards A growing coalition of researchers, NGOs, and climate‑policy advocates argues that Japan can phase out fossil fuels by 2030 if the government is willing to move with the urgency of a national transformation.Japan’s energy system reflects a long-standing contradiction. It is a global technology leader, yet almost entirely dependent on imported fossil fuels….

Miguel Angel Martinez Jr. The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative provides the necessary framework for Mexico to align its domestic independence with a just transition to renewable energy.Mexico’s energy policy stands at a critical crossroads as the nation balances “energy sovereignty” and the urgent demands of the global climate crisis. Over the last two years,…

Michael Johnson The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty provides a framework for a strategy to phase out fossil fuels in Nigeria. For decades, Nigeria has been defined by its oil—first as a producer, then as a paradoxical importer of its own refined products. Today, that paradox is finally unraveling. The Dangote Refinery now supplies more than…

Abeer Abdulkareem, Amgad Ellaboudy Saudi Arabia is the 2nd largest crude oil producer in the region, producing 10,872,023 barrels per day. The country’s oil consumption decreased from 3.7 million b/d in 2023 to 3.6 million b/d in 2024. Saudi Arabia’s oil use for power generation fell by around 270,000 b/d in mid-2025, signaling early success…

Rugare Zhou South Africa has developed a binding directive to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) to align energy production with its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with 2030 1.5 0C targets South Africa is planning to phase-out fossil fuel by 2030 aligning with the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. It intends to exploit…

Juanjo Santos The initiative calls for three coordinated actions: ending the expansion of fossil fuels, phasing out existing production, and enabling a just transition to renewable energy.Spain has an opportunity to become one of the first major economies to fully phase out fossil fuels by 2030 while supporting the goals of the Fossil Fuel Non‑Proliferation…

İpek Gülkaya Taşgın By aligning with the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, Türkiye can transition from a net importer of carbon to a sovereign leader in clean energy.As the global climate crisis intensifies, Türkiye stands at a decisive juncture. With an energy system historically anchored in fossil fuels yet blessed with vast renewable potential, the…

Carlos Alexandre de Oliveira Ending fossil fuel use in the United Kingdom by 2030 requires coordinated action across three major areas: Ending fossil fuel production, ending fossil fuel consumption, and ending fossil fuel imports and exports.  For more than a century, fossil fuels have shaped the United Kingdom’s economy, infrastructure, and global influence. Coal powered the…

Abby Carlson There are few statistics on 2025 fossil fuel imports, exports, production, and consumption in the United States. However, in 2024, the United States exported 31% of its fossil fuel production–out of the 103 quadrillion British thermal units that were produced that year in the US, about 31 quads went to other countries. As…
