Former U.N. Chief Endorses Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
---------------------------------------------------------------

Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has endorsed a global Fossil
Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Ban Ki-moon: "The world has come together many times to tackle
significant threats: saving the ozone, banning landmines, negotiating a
nuclear ban treaty. Now we must do it again, this time for fossil fuels
- an industry that fuels the climate crisis, wars, biodiversity loss and
air pollution."
