CANSEA Director & Regional Director, Nithi Nesadurai, is currently attending the People’s Summit in Santa Marta in Colombia. This event is organised by civil society networks prior to the landmark First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels to be held in Santa Marta on 28-29 April.
Nithi has the honour of being selected as Asia’s representative of the civil society (NGO) sector and be given a seat to attend the People’s Assembly on 27 April.
Discussions during the NGO sector component of the People’s Summit have been constructive with convergence on its desired outcomes from the conference. They include the call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty with no funds for new fossil fuel production; finance for a Just Transition Fund; and the payment of reparations by fossil fuel companies for the harm they have caused.
