The people who produced Hoodwinked in the Hothouse, a key report exposing corporate-based false solutions to the climate crisis, host the fourth in their series of webinars, Greenwashing Disaster Capital.
Speakers will explain how corporate interests are hijacking critical climate action around the world by co-opting key concepts, frameworks and language from our movements.
The organizers write:
“Traditional ecological knowledge concepts like biomimicry, strategy frameworks like a just transition, and even popular narratives like building a regenerative economy have been co-opted in recent years by big NGOs, philanthropists and academic institutions to advance neoliberal schemes like pollution trading at policy arenas like the UNFCCC.
“Scores of universities, government agencies, corporations, NGOs and funders are engaged in this widespread greenwashing pandemic – serving a colonial extractivist agenda that awards $trillions in subsidies to polluting corporations, creating structural barriers to the advancement of proven strategies and real solutions that our communities and the planet really need.”
Speakers:
Dipti Bhatnagar, Friends of the Earth
Leonardo Figueroa Helland, The New School
Mike Ewall, Energy Justice Network
Nnimmo Bassey, Health of Mother Earth Foundation
Silvia Ribeiro, ETC Group
