Podcast No. 19 – Actions against climate change – and how to end them

# 19

The German energy group RWE is suing the Netherlands for 1.4 billion euros in damages due to the coal phase-out. Such lawsuits are made possible by the Energy Charter Treaty, arguably the fossil lobby's sharpest tool against effective climate policy. Civil society organisations across Europe are now mobilising to withdraw from this treaty. We talk to Fabian Flues about the background and current developments. What is behind the contract and how exactly do we get out of it?

Here you will find the German-language argumentation guide: Myths surrounding the Energy Charter Treaty
