Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil

 

 

"“While local Indigenous peoples struggled to enter the conference, fossil fuel lobbyists walked in freely. My generation deserves Just Transition policies that reflect what people and the planet need, not what polluters’ profits demand,” said Pim Sullivan-Tailyour of the UK Youth Climate Coalition. “The UNFCCC is in need of rehabilitation.”

“Fossil fuel companies continue to lead us into a climate abyss. [Yet] for 30 years, climate change summits have been an ideal stage for oil companies to clean up their image, do business and find new ways to get away with environmental crimes,” said Ivonne Yáñez from Acción Ecológica [Ecological Action], a non-profit environmental group in Ecuador where oil drilling is expanding across the Amazon.

“Today, instead of transitioning to post-oil societies, they want to extract every last drop of fossil fuels to continue feeding the capitalist system and genocidal wars.”"]
