Pulling Back the Curtain: Taking on False Solutions
This webinar, hosted by Real Zero Europe on 27 June 2025, is the first in a new series unpacking some of the most common false solutions to the climate crisis, and exploring the risks these approaches pose to people and the climate.
These sessions are designed for NGOs and activists to deepen their understanding of these so-called solutions, both globally and at the EU level, and to empower them to challenge these dangerous distractions.
The webinar includes presentations from:
Aled Dilwyn Fisher, Oil Change International – Hydrogen
Rachel Nelems, Global Gas & Oil Network – Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Rachel Kennerley, Center for International Environmental Law – CCS/CDR in EU policy
Martin Pigeon, Fern – BECCS
Linda Schneider, Heinrich Böll Foundation – Geoengineering
