The possibility of arbitration is a primary function of investment treaties. "Multinationals do not need to win every case; they need litigation to enter into the calculations of ministers, lawyers, and officials before they act."

Turns out if you don't invite the US to a climate conference, work gets done.

The #SantaMarta conference name “Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels” is not exactly catchy. But, that's exactly what it is. It's not to waste time on skeptics or negotiate climate goals with oil countries. It's singularly focused on practical action to stop burning fossil fuels.
