Ireland must exit the Energy Charter Treaty

Withdraw Ireland from the Energy Charter Treaty.

Why is this important?

The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is a trade agreement that allows fossil fuel companies sue governments for billions of euro if that government were to try and stop fossil fuel projects or lower people's energy bills.

It's the fossil fuel industry's secret weapon to make sure governments can't act on climate change or the cost of energy.

Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have already said they will withdraw and the EU Parliament also wants the rest of the EU to withdraw from this dangerous and costly treaty.

With the cost of energy at record levels and climate disasters becoming more and more frequent it is Ireland's time to get out.
Sign today and tell Ministers Simon Coveney and Eamon Ryan that Ireland must leave the Energy Charter Treaty now.
