Clearing the air: Kick big polluters out EU Climate Policy
05/24/23 • 28 min
The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges of our time. And yet, we see big polluters and the fossil fuel lobby comfortably sitting at climate talks, presenting themselves as “green” solutions experts.
In the second episode of Look Left, we spoke with climate campaigner Martha Myers to unpack the dirty tricks and tactics of the fossil fuel lobby. We also shed light on the other side: building a climate policy that puts people before profit in decision-making.
With Left MEP Silvia Modig, we put EU Climate Policy under the left lens and discussed the next steps towards making the green transition socially just.

Abortion: from taboo to global struggle
Stigma and scapegoating, civil disobedience and international solidarity. We dedicate the third episode of Look Left to all women who lost their lives because they were denied the right to choose and to all those who stand up for their right to decide over their own bodies.
We spoke to Polish women's rights defender Justyna Wydrzyńska, who was sentenced to eight months of community service for helping a woman to have an abortion. We also put the fight for the right to free, safe and legal abortion under The Left lens and heard about Irish women’s historic victory in the Repeal the 8th Referendum from Left MEP Clare Daly.
