Online Course: Unpacking the Energy Charter Treaty, 15 April - 13 May
The Energy Charter Treaty is an obscure international treaty giving energy corporations the power to sue governments for billions for climate action, including policies to phase out coal, ban oil drilling, or reverse failed energy privatisations. The ECT poses a fundamental threat to our democracies, people, and the planet. Companies have already cashed in over $51 billion in taxpayers’ money, and they’re after $35 billion more. The good news? A movement is growing to stop this dangerous treaty. Five 1.5 hour live sessions every week [Thursdays 12:30-14.00 CET]
