How can we change the trade deals that are fuelling climate breakdown?
11.30am – 12.30pm Saturday 14 November
on zoom as part of Reading Climate Festival
The US-UK trade deal isn’t just a threat to our food standards and public services, it’s also a threat to our world. The whole model of corporate globalisation that drives international trade today is a major cause of climate breakdown. It is vital that we take action on trade rules if we are to have any hope of tackling the climate crisis.
Jackie Oversby gave a short talk covering the following subjects:
How do trade rules override climate treaties?
How can trade deals block climate action?
How can we change them?
Have we any chance of succeeding?
This event was part of Reading Climate Festival 9 – 15 November. More details are at http://www.readingculturelive.co.uk/…/reading-climate…/
