We are a group of four students from Trinity College Dublin, and see the importance of taking action now for the future generations. Trinity College Dublin is known for its progressive thinking and innovation, setting an example for academic institutions worldwide. Now is the time for Trinity to solidify its commitment to sustainability and show global leadership by signing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is an international initiative aimed at phasing out fossil fuel production, stopping the expansion of new coal, oil, and gas projects, and leading towards a just transition to renewable energy sources. The treaty mirrors the approach of the Paris Agreement but targets the root cause of the climate emergency – the continuous reliance on fossil fuels.

By signing the treaty, Trinity’s commitment will send a clear signal to the government, industry leaders, and its alumni that the time for decisive and transformative action is now. This commitment includes pursuing sustainable practices on campus, investing in renewable energy, and integrating climate science and solutions into academic programs.

We must ensure that the legacy we leave for future generations is one of sustainability and hope. Therefore, we call upon every student, alumni, faculty, and resident or visitors of Dublin to support this initiative. Let's join hands in advocating for Trinity College to take a stand against fossil fuels and sign the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
