Climate Goals Held to Ransom: Exit the Energy Charter Treaty!

Corporations are holding our planet’s future to ransom and the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is the fossil fuel industry’s secret weapon.

It allows corporations to sue countries for billions, through a mechanism called investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), if countries take climate action that affects corporate profits.

In the coming weeks, states will be meeting for the final round of failing negotiations to reform the treaty, but people across the globe are saying enough is enough. Corporations can no longer be allowed to hold our climate goals to ransom, and force ordinary people to pay them to stop destroying the planet.

Join us and a panel of climate leaders to hear why we must leave the ECT and end climate-destroying ISDS for good.

Speakers will include:

• Carola Rackete, ecologist and social justice activist
• Brenda Akankunda, SEATINI Uganda
• Camille Étienne, French climate activist
• Fernando Valladares, professor and climate expert
• Asad Rehman, War on Want
