DITCHED: Why 2020 Could Be a Tipping Point for Fossil Fuels
2020 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for fossil fuel divestment.
Despite economic disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, a growing number of countries, companies and financial institutions are committing to quit coal and are beginning to ditch oil and gas projects, too.
In this episode of Political Climate’s special DITCHED series, host Julia Pyper speaks to Tim Buckley at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) about what’s driving the increase in fossil fuel exits around the globe, including in historically coal-dependent economies such as China and India.
Will 2020 prove to be a tipping point in the energy-finance transition?
