For this episode of Crash #COP27, Edgar reports back on what he's seen so far in the COP27 Green Zone. Notable is the dominating presence of organizations peddling false solutions, particularly nuclear power. Jill and Edgar discuss how Washington State, once a leader in the green movement, has now become an innovation hub for false solutions, including geoengineering technology as well as nuclear.Our hosts also talk about the recent news that activists and movement leaders at COP27 are possibly being surveilled by the Egyptian government, begging the questions: Who is the COP for? Is this sort of surveillance actually part of the rationale behind why certain countries are chosen as hosts for the COP? and If the COP isn't a space for the grassroots or for movement building, then where is our alternative to the COP?Recorded on November 8, 2022.
