SUMMARY:The Perils of Sportswashing & Greenwashing for U.S. Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:\nAuthoritarian regimes are increasingly turning towards sports
  &amp\; green energy to launder their reputations abroad. They have hosted
  a number of major international sporting events\, including the Olympics 
 and the World Cup\, and have made sizable investments in international spo
 rts – including soccer\, Formula 1 racing\, and golf – in what has bee
 n dubbed “sportswashing”. Authoritarian regimes have also ramped up ma
 rketing of their regimes’ environmental sustainability initiatives\, whi
 le minimizing their actual deleterious impacts on the environment. Perhaps
  the most egregious example of this “greenwashing” is the United Arab 
 Emirates – whose economy is driven by fossil fuels – currently hosting
  the COP 28 Climate Change Conference. The Quincy Institute held an import
 ant discussion on this topic with Sarah Leah Whitson\, Executive Director 
 of Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN)\, Sunjeev Bery\, Director of Fr
 eedom Forward\, and Joey Shea\, Researcher at Human Rights Watch. Ben Free
 man\, Director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy Program at the Quincy I
 nstitute\, moderated. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/3RZo7tRJ9eU\n\n
