Nobel winners and former presidents slam lack of fossil fuel mention in UN pact draft
"Another stark failure to confront one of the greatest threats to our planet and humanity."
A group of 77 former world leaders and Nobel laureates have shared their “grave concern” about the removal of any mention of fossil fuels in the latest draft of the UN Pact for the Future.
In an open letter to global governments heading to the UN Summit of the Future in New York at the end of September, the group (comprised of dozens of Nobel Prize winners and a few former presidents) urges the United Nations to “commit to a fast and fair transition away from fossil fuels”.
