signatories of the Lofoten Declaration who, with the support of the Global Gas

signing on the Lofoten Declaration. The <A

be climate leaders to phase out oil, gas and coal production in addition to the
plans of restricting their consumption. Such countries as China, Costa Rica,
France, New Zealand, Spain and some others have already taken action on
restricting fossil fuel supply (see page 5 <A
href="http://productiongap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Closing-the-Fossil-Fuel-Production-Gap-Brief.pdf"

needed.</SPAN></P>
