Could our guests give their opinions on the idea of a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty? We are seeing the real structural limitations of the COP process, although that does not mean we should throw it in the bin, particularly as it is global in nature. Effectively, the slowest moving and most powerful countries in the world, which are beholden to fossil fuel interests, are able to stop us doing what we need to do. The idea of those countries that have a greater ambition coming together to drive that in a parallel process would, in turn, have positive reverberations within the COP process.
