GlobalShould countries set a deadline to move off fossil fuels?
Coal, oil and gas are called fossil fuels. Burning them produces most of the gases heating the planet. On 23 September 2026, at the UN Climate Summit in New York, Secretary-General António Guterres asked every country for a credible plan to leave fossil fuels, with clear dates. He said the G20, which produces about 80 percent of global emissions, should lead, and that the change should protect workers. Governments disagree on how strict those dates should be. Some want one shared global date. Others want each country to set its own timeline. Germany presented a national plan that day, including an end to fossil fuels in its energy sector by 2045. Some governments reject a deadline of any kind. This poll asks which approach you support. It is not a prediction of what the UN will decide.
