1	Towards a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty: Insights from Global Disarmament and Non-proliferation McEvoy, Ffion January 2024 (has links) The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FF-NPT) is a proposed multilateral treaty for the supply-side elimination of fossil fuels championed by a transnational advocacy network. Comparing fossil fuels to weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), the FF-NPT co-opts the language of non-proliferation and disarmament in a bid to uncover the moral implications of fossil fuel extraction and shift narratives about climate change. Pushing this analogy a step further, this study investigates how insights from global non-proliferation and disarmament efforts might be applied to the FF-NPT and climate governance more broadly. Thematic analysis of interviews with thirteen non-proliferation and disarmament experts is the focal point of this investigation. Findings feature factors behind success and failure; participation and power asymmetry; innovation and regional approaches; norms versus legally binding instruments; and practical parameters of the FF-NPT. climate change fossil fuels disarmament non-proliferation weapons of mass destruction expert interviews norms anti-fossil fuel norms imagination social change fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty CBRN thematic analysis Social Sciences Interdisciplinary Övrig annan samhällsvetenskap Political Science Statsvetenskap
