Dino Talks episode IV
We Don’t Have Time and UNDP are proud to present Dino Talks IV, the forth episode in a series about fossil fuel subsidies.
Fossil fuel subsidies create and amplify existing inequalities, benefiting the rich versus the poor in many countries. In this episode of Dino Talks, we dive deeper into the complexity of fossil fuel subsidies with respect to poverty and climate inequalities and explore how these subsidies are undermining global and national efforts to power up a sustainable transition and transformation.
