Corporate Courts = Climate Chaos
7 November, 11:45 - 13:15
Online event
‘Corporate courts’ (also called ISDS) are a legal mechanism in trade deals that can block climate action and exacerbate global injustice. We will hear from an activist and a government representative (tbc) in the Global South who are fighting back against corporate courts and their destructive impacts on our planet, communities and democracy. We will also hear about the growing threat that ISDS cases pose to meeting climate targets and the eye-watering sums that fossil fuel companies extract from governments across the globe over climate and environmental measures.
