TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS
BUILDING A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
Building the coalitions that turn commitments into reality
The transition away from fossil fuels is one of the defining challenges of our time. While governments have committed to accelerating this transition, turning that ambition into reality will require unprecedented collaboration between governments, cities, regions, workers, businesses and civil society.
No single organisation or sector can deliver this transition alone. Stamp Out Poverty specialises in building the broad coalitions needed to strengthen political support, connect diverse constituencies and accelerate the exchange of ideas, experience and practical solutions. By bringing together partners from across society, we help build the momentum needed to turn international commitments into lasting change.
OUR ROLE
Building broad coalitions for a just transition
A successful transition away from fossil fuels must be fair as well as fast. It will only succeed if it is supported not only by environmental organisations, but also by workers, communities and the organisations that represent them.
In the UK, Stamp Out Poverty brought together trade unions, civil society organisations and climate partners around a shared vision for a just transition, helping secure the endorsement of [XX] national trade unions for the transition away from fossil fuels. Bringing together organisations with different priorities, expertise and constituencies demonstrated that ambitious climate action and good jobs can-and must-go hand in hand.
Today we apply the same coalition-building approach internationally. Stamp Out Poverty convenes leading subnational networks and civil society partners to strengthen their engagement in the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels (TAFF) process, established by the Brazilian COP Presidency to accelerate implementation of the landmark COP28 commitment to transition away from fossil fuels.
We convened the subnational chapter of the first international Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, Colombia, bringing together city and regional leaders from around the world to participate in this emerging international process. Today we continue to convene leading city and regional networks to engage in the next phase of the TAFF process, hosted by the governments of Tuvalu and Ireland, helping ensure that the experience, ambition and practical leadership of subnational governments are reflected in international discussions and the implementation of the global transition away from fossil fuels.
OUR IMPACT
Building momentum for implementation
The transition away from fossil fuels will be shaped not only through international negotiations, but by the ideas, partnerships and practical experience shared between those already leading change.
Stamp Out Poverty helps connect trade unions, cities, regions, civil society organisations and policymakers around this shared agenda. By creating opportunities to exchange successful policies and approaches, amplify diverse voices and engage with key international processes, we help build the broad political momentum needed to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
Across our programmes, we support coalition engagement with the annual UN climate negotiations and the Bonn intercessional meetings, helping partners strengthen relationships, contribute to international discussions and ensure that practical experience informs global implementation.
