Climate action

Overview

Free trade agreements have historically included clauses that allow corporations and governments to bring trade cases challenging renewable energy and other climate action policies. These kinds of cases are on the rise, challenging conservation action everywhere. Not only do such cases directly threaten existing climate policies, but the threat of entering into costly and lengthy trade litigation can deter governments from enacting the new climate policies that the climate crisis demands.

Climate Peace Clause Petition

Officials from the United States, European Union, and other nations are meeting soon for trade negotiations, as well as G7 talks, that could have a major impact on the future of climate policy at home and around the world.  

Please join us in urging negotiators to adopt a “Climate Peace Clause” that ends trade attacks on clean energy initiatives and other climate policies. We will deliver thousands of comments from people like you while there is still time to make a difference.
