More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists accessed UN climate summits over a four-year period that coincided with rising extreme weather and record oil and gas expansion. Approximately 5,350 lobbyists represented at least 859 fossil fuel organizations, including trade groups, foundations and 180 oil, gas and coal companies active across the supply chain. Ninety corporations that sent lobbyists between 2021 and 2024 produced 57% of oil and gas last year, yielding 33,699m barrels of oil equivalent in 2024.
