(Nearly) Everyone says it’s Crazy — A Deeper Dive into the Damages Caused by Fossil Fuel Subsidies

We Don’t Have Time and UNDP are proud to present Dino Talks II, the second episode in a series about fossil fuel subsidies. We need to halve our emissions by 2030 and hit net zero no later than 2050 to save our world from a climate disaster. So why are we still subsidizing the primary cause of this disaster? In this episode, we dive deeper into the damages caused by fossil fuel subsidies, discuss renewable energy and nature-based solutions, and explore how these subsidies are undermining global and national efforts to achieve the Paris Climate Agreement goals.
