Daily energy & climate — solar, EVs, oil, the policy fights and tech bets shaping the transition. Free.
- Fossil Free Zones Breakfast is scheduled for 24 September 2026, running 8:15–9:45 at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus as part of New York Climate Week.
- The strategy session aligns Amazon, Congo Basin and Coral Triangle conservation strategies ahead of COP31.
- Organisers aim to move Fossil Free Zones from community-led demands into formalised, low-cost policy tools.
- Those tools are designed for governments to integrate into national energy transition and deforestation roadmaps.
Why it matters: By aligning Amazon, Congo Basin and Coral Triangle under one Fossil Free Zones framework before COP31, the breakfast attempts to upgrade grassroots fossil-fuel exclusion demands into formal national policy — shifting the audience from activists to legislators drafting energy and deforestation roadmaps.
