Listen "Crash #COP27: Biden's False Solutions"
Episode Synopsis
John Kerry, President Biden’s climate envoy, is at COP27, and the United States' plans for climate finance were leaked prior to their unveiling at the COP.Unfortunately, the funding the US is aiming to procure for developing countries is to come from carbon offsets and market mechanisms, and as the Climate Justice Alliance and the It Takes Roots coalition have argued, Biden's plan will accelerate climate change at the expense of Indigenous peoples and frontline communities.Jill and Edgar take a few minutes to discuss these developments and take On the Frontlines' first-ever listener-submitted question! They then go down memory lane, discussing the significance of COP21 in Paris, both for the world and for Washington State. Recorded on November 9, 2022. Crash #COP27 is a special season of On the Frontlines.Check out:This Changes Everything (Naomi Klein, 2014)"SHELL NO!"
