Defund Fossil Fuels – a Webinar
Webinar Recording from Thursday 26th July 2018
Across Europe, people-powered movements are organising to prevent the roll out of new fossil fuel projects. In this webinar, we focused on unpacking key frontline infrastructure battles, exploring why current fossil fuel sector and political contexts are ripe for finance campaigns, and discussing an upcoming mobilisation on 15th September 2018.

In addition to the mobilisations, protests, camps and actions taking place this summer, 350 is developing defund strategies to remove the financing that makes new coal and gas projects possible – and to continue the de-legitimisation of fossil fuel interests.
With the scaling up of the Fossil Free campaign, and the ramping up of several iconic infrastructure campaigns around the globe, cutting off the finance to these projects provides an additional strategy for climate justice organisers.
