This panel was preceded by Hoodwinked in the Hothouse I: Examining False Corporate Schemes being advanced through the Paris Agreement and by Hoodwinked in the Hothouse Part II: Frontline Voices of Indigenous Resistance beyond Climate False Solutions. The recording of these events is available here and here.
With federal and state governments poised to provide billions in climate subsidies, policy incentives and tax breaks to dangerous and dirty energy industries such as biomass and waste incinerators; nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure for fossil-fuel facilities, frontline and environmental justice communities around the world are facing increased pollution burdens and toxic threats.
This webinar will highlight emergent threats of climate false solutions across U.S. federal and state policy landscapes, featuring organizers, community leaders, researchers, and frontline organizations who are fighting the myths associated with CCS, nuclear, hydrogen, biofuels and waste incineration. Along with debunking false solutions, this webinar will highlight inspiring stories of success led by environmental justice communities.
To effectively move money away from such dangerous policy directions and towards real climate justice solutions, we need our allies amongst national green groups, labor unions, climate philanthropy, and policymakers to join us in opposing these schemes.
The following Hoodwinked co-authors and experts will provide deeper analysis of, and strategies for circumventing these deadly threats that are emerging from the beltway and various state capitals in 2022:
