At the coalface
The 2020 summit is over but in one area the same old voices are talking the loudest.
The subgroup discussing climate change was heavy with fossil fuel representatives pushing their agenda of clean coal. Anna Rose from the youth summit was the lone voice for the environment and climate change network. Subsidies worth an estimated $9 billion a year from taxpayers’ money goes to benefit the wealthy fossil fuel industries who are rapidly making our planet unsafe. If you would like to see some of your money diverted to proven and available solutions go to www.stop-fueling-climate-change.org and have your say.
