BANGKOK CLIMATE ACTION WEEK 2026
Bangkok Climate Action Week: a critical moment to build momentum for a fossil fuel phase outAs fossil fuel expansion accelerates and climate progress stalls, Climate Weeks like Bangkok’s are essential to build pressure between COPs and turn bold ideas into real commitments. This Bangkok Climate Action Week, the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative network will gather decision makers, climate leaders, activists and artists to call for international cooperation to end the fossil fuel era.
The Fossil Fuel Treaty: an opportunity to turn momentum into actionIn the face of rising regressive climate politics and narratives, the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative offers a crucial response — and global momentum is growing behind it. It is the clear plan the world needs to phase out fossil fuels through an equitable transition. Led by frontline communities and funded by those most responsible. It’s not a distant goal. The shift has already begun.

Regional coordination and Cross-regional solidarity for International Cooperation on Phasing Out of Fossil Fuels
Date: 8 October 2026
Time: 2:30PM - 5:00PM
Location: Ambassador Hotel BangkokThis event hosted by the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative, Oxfam in Asia, Climate Action Network Southeast Asia, Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development during Bangkok Climate Action Week, brings together governments, policymakers, and advocates from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific to advance towards a just transition away from fossil fuels. Set against the backdrop of escalating climate impacts and the growing momentum for the need of dedicated international processes on the just transition away from fossil fuels, the event is designed to connect regional realities with global ambition.
The event marks a significant moment in the Asia-Pacific engagement, sharing insights on different country’s just energy transition roadmap, amplifying frontline voices from Pacific island nations facing existential climate threat, and building cross-regional solidarity ahead of critical global milestones including COP 31 and the Second Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Tuvalu in 2027. Through film, research, dialogue, and collective action, the event will demonstrate that the political and social conditions for a fossil fuel phase-out are being built from the ground up across the region, and through international cooperation.
