How does the Energy Charter Treaty, the secret weapon of the energy industry against climate policy, work and how are countries of the Global South made to join the treaty with false promises? PowerShift has written a clear newspaper supplement and published it in the LeMondeDiplomatique.
Further background information on the Energy Charter Treaty and its harmful effects on climate policy can be found in our factsheet Stumbling Trap for Climate Protection - How the Energy Charter Treaty Endangers Ambitious Climate Policy, which we have published together with the Forum Umwelt und Entwicklung, Campact, the BUND, attac and the Naturefriends of Germany.
We believe in the importance of political work, because only an informed civil society can influence the formation of political will.
Global inequality, climate disaster, exploitation of people and nature – the problems are huge. With our focus on trade, raw materials and climate policy, we address the root causes of our unjust economic system.
