Speakers from IISD will provide a preview on the latest data from a major study by 14 organisations* explaining just how much public money G20 countries have channeled towards fossil fuels over clean energy since the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic. The full and latest dataset, on a new website tracking climate and energy recovery policies worldwide, will be available on 15 July.
Frontline campaigners from the United States, EU, Canada, Australia and India will speak about local resistance movements against major fossil fuel projects amidst the changing landscape of the Covid19 crisis and an economic crisis.
