Description
How do we stop funding climate chaos? Where does the money go and how much of this is real green investments? In this episode we answer these and many more questions with Jonas from Umanotera!From the Taxonomy to public subsidies, we discuss the role and funding of fossil fuels in the energy market, and how and if we will be able to get rid of them. In Central and Eastern Europe, things are starting to change in this regard, and this is in part also thanks to EU funds and their strict requirements. But change takes time, and sometimes it is not so straightforward. For example, when people’s lives and sustenance are connected to coal plants, how can we build a bridge between the climate and social objectives? How can we pursue our sustainability goals without harming people and taking away their livelihood?Umanotera is an organisation based in Slovenia, where Jonas has been working on a campaign called, “Towards a climate-neutral Europe: An efficient allocation of European funds”.Europe Climate Connection is an original podcast presented by Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe. Co-hosts: Rachel Brabbins and Olivia Saxer. Executive Producer and Editor: Samuel Martín-Sosa. Script by: Rachel Brabbins.
