Hi there,

Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism this month. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Former U.N. Chief Endorses Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

HeadlineSep 26, 2024

Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has endorsed a global Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Ban Ki-moon: “The world has come together many times to tackle significant threats: saving the ozone, banning landmines, negotiating a nuclear ban treaty. Now we must do it again, this time for fossil fuels – an industry that fuels the climate crisis, wars, biodiversity loss and air pollution.”
