The Bahamas has officially joined the growing bloc of countries calling for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, and Pakistan, the world’s fifth-most populous country, is the first in South Asia to commit to discuss an equitable and just transition with the growing group of 16 nations across four continents.

The Bahamas, a small island state on the frontline of rising seas and intensifying hurricanes, is demonstrating extraordinary resilience and bold leadership. By joining this group, they are proving that those most impacted are also at the forefront of the fight for a safer, more sustainable future.

Pakistan has been faced with devastating floods, extreme heatwaves, and rapidly melting glaciers. Their leadership sends a powerful message: tackling fossil fuels, the root cause of the climate crisis, can no longer wait.

The group of 16 is leading on a global plan to manage an equitable phase-out of fossil fuels and build a more just, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.
