These international efforts include the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) and the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
They also touch on the closely related subject of a people-centered clean energy transition and how to support workers and communities in moving away from the fossil fuel industry and into green energy jobs.
