Robert Smith, Brian Eno and Jane Fonda lead manifesto signed by more than 200 artists against fossil fuels
Robert Smith, Brian Eno and Jane Fonda are among more than 200 artists, musicians, actors and activists who have signed an international manifesto calling for support for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The initiative seeks to pressure governments in different countries to gradually reduce the exploration of oil, coal and natural gas, accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.
According to the campaign's organizers, the objective is to create an international agreement similar to global treaties focused on nuclear weapons, establishing clear goals to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and tackle climate change.
In addition to the lead singer of The Cure, producer Brian Eno and actress Jane Fonda, several musicians, filmmakers, writers and public figures joined the movement, reinforcing the international dimension of the initiative.
The document states that the current environmental commitments made by many governments are still insufficient to limit global warming and avoid increasingly severe climate impacts.
Robert Smith has previously participated in campaigns linked to environmental and social causes, while Brian Eno is one of the most active musicians in debates about sustainability and climate-related public policies.
Jane Fonda has also become one of the leading voices of climate activism in recent years, participating in demonstrations, public hearings and international campaigns.
Organizers hope support from well-known artists will increase pressure on political leaders during upcoming global environmental conferences.
