Now that the US has deposed Venezuelan leader Maduro and claimed control of his country’s oil reserves (the world’s largest), what’s next? And what will it mean for the continued urgency of phasing out fossil fuels globally? Covering Climate Now held a one-hour rapid-response webinar with experts and journalists from the region who shared their insights and answered journalists’ questions.
Independent journalist Joshua De Freitas Hernández, Patrick Galey of Global Witness, Mariel Lozada of Climate Home News, and Isabella Reimi of Argus Media joined CCNow as panelists. CCNow’s executive director for strategic initiatives, Kyle Pope, moderated the conversation.
