Around COP23 in Katowice, Poland 30 November to December 2, 2018

The meeting on Climate and Energy built on the outcomes of the Cluster’s previous activities, the Seminar in Bangkok in September 2018 during the COP Intersessional, focusing on Financing of Fossil Fuels, and the Custer’s sessions during the AEPF12 Conference in Gent at the end of September 2018, which discussed various experiences from campaigns against Fossil Fuels.

During the workshop, unities were built along these campaigns on Climate and Energy. Various strategies were developed to strengthen our campaigns against public subsidies of fossil fuel project, such as targeting the G20 countries and using the G20 summit in 2019 as a key political moment. It was an opportunity to learn from specific oil and gas campaigns. The latter is quite new for Asian civil society organisations. We welcomed the presence of Gastivists to share their campaign ideas. We also got more information from geo-engineering and recent developments in the climate and energy topics.
