We know fossil fuel companies are making super-profits from the cost of living crisis. What’s less known is that they’re using a secret weapon to cash in huge pay-outs when their dirty projects are challenged by climate policies.
A shadowy parallel legal system underpins trade between countries and the globalised world that multinational corporations enjoy. It enshrines the rights of big business over people and planet, rigs the global economy and makes a mockery of democracy.
This is the ‘real stuff’ of global capitalism. In this talk, hear how we can dismantle one node of its neo-colonial architecture, sending shockwaves through the webs of power weaved by trade agreements and corporate courts.
