Help Stop Trade Attacks on Climate Action
Tuesday, August 8 • 12:00 noon
Seattle Convention Center Summit Building • 900 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101
Please join the Washington Fair Trade Coalition and our environmental partners as we deliver a letter from roughly 200 state-and-local climate groups to government officials at the Seattle APEC meetings calling for a “Climate Peace Clause” that would end trade attacks threatening climate initiatives in Washington and throughout the world.
Outdated, corporate-driven trade agreements are increasingly being used to challenge clean energy and climate mitigation policies at home and abroad. Past examples include WTO attacks on state solar programs here in Washington. With climate catastrophe already on our doorstep, we can’t allow rigged trade rules to delay, weaken or prevent future climate action!
A Climate Peace Clause is an immediate moratorium on the use of international trade agreements to challenge clean energy and climate programs. Help us bring our Climate Peace Clause demand directly to world officials in Seattle!
