Wall Street, Big Oil and their Planet-Destroying Love Affair

Mar 10, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

The science has never been clearer: fossil fuels are displacing vulnerable communities, destroying UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Gulf of California, and pushing the planet towards climate disaster. And yet, the fossil fuel industry continues to pursue its reckless expansion plans in the name of extravagant profits, aided and abetted by Wall Street’s desire to cash in on dirty investments. Join experts from NRDC, Conexiones Climáticas in Mexico, and Mexican actor, director, and producer Gael García Bernal as they discuss how this dangerous love affair comes at the expense of our future.
