Early Wins: Micronesia, Investors and Pilot Projects

The signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015 was a breakthrough in the fight against the climate crisis. Almost every country in the world signed on to the treaty and agreed to keep or reduce emissions to under 2 degrees Celsius, or better yet, 1.5 degrees Celsius.

When environmental activist Tzeporah Berman read the agreement – a bit nerdy but someone had to do it – she found no mention of oil, gas and coal. Odd, because oil, gas and oil are responsible for more than 86 per cent of carbon emissions. Berman decided the Paris Agreement needed help, so she set out to create the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Not a heavy lift at all.
