The Parliamentarians for a Fossil-Free Future, using the Global Parliamentarians Inquiry into the Progress of Fossil Fuels Phase Out as a take off point, is undertaking a Global Parliamentarians’ Inquiry into the Progress of Fossil Fuels Phase Out in the Amazon.

The Inquiry aims to:

Leverage the influence of parliamentarians to investigate progress in the phase out of fossil fuels, specifically oil and gas, in the Amazon region, and explore opportunities for the phase in of renewable energy systems, in a just and equitable manner.

And, 

• Generate pressure on Amazonian governments, public institutions and corporations to scale up commitments and protection actions to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry in the region.

• Raise public attention and awareness on the urgent call for the  protection of the Amazon, specifically  the need to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

• Collect, synthesize and publicly share information, analyses and recommendations from experts, stakeholders and parliamentarians regarding the current situation and the risks that come with the fossil fuel industry’s plans for expansion. In the same way, explore the opportunities that renewable energy has in the region.
