Dino Talks episode VI
We Don’t Have Time and UNDP are proud to present Dino Talks VI, the sixth episode in a series of 10 about fossil fuel subsidies.
We need to halve emissions by 2030 to have a chance of hitting net zero by 2050, and fossil-fuel subsidies are one of the biggest financial barriers hampering the world’s shift to renewable energy sources. In this episode we look at how fossil fuel subsidies penetrate and provide an unfair playing field in efforts to decarbonize transport.
