Welcome to the Environment & Climate Crisis Council’s January Climate Café on Monday, the 26th at 9:30 am ET/3:30 pm CET. This month’s presentation and discussion, Crude Power’s Climate Impact will address the onerous impact of the MAGA administration’s ‘energy emergency’ and its crude power grab for fossil fuels on global emissions and planetary health.
Our special guest, Victor Menotti, is an American climate justice advocate with the Oakland Institute and is a UNFCCC negotiator. He is based in Slovakia.
Victor Menotti is a Senior Fellow at the Oakland Institute in California but since 2016 has been based in Bratislava, Slovakia, where he works as the US Coordinator of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ). He has advised both developing and developed country governments, small producers in the farming, fishing and forestry sectors, as well as labor unions, indigenous peoples' organizations and environmental groups on global rule-making for natural resources in trade, investment, finance and technology policies.
