Canada Faces Scrutiny as New Fossil Forum Raises Greenwashing Fears – The Energy Mix: The NZPF is “arguably the first international initiative bringing
together fossil fuel producers to discuss the impact of climate policy
on the production of oil and gas directly,” the groups say. But “while
this tacit recognition by major oil and gas producers that their
contribution to the climate crisis can no longer be ignored is an
interesting development, the framing of the initiative and its main
objectives raise the prospect of the NZPF being a greenwashing tool in service to the oil and gas industry’s interests.”

Which means that, “unless the NZPF members align around the need for a
managed and equitable phaseout of fossil fuel production in line with
the 1.5°C limit, this forum will only serve as a smokescreen to help
prolong the life of fossil fuels assets and ultimately make the global
climate crisis worse.”
