At least 1,773 lobbyists representing the coal, oil, and gas industries have infiltrated the UN climate talks, greatly outnumbering most delegations and raising alarm over their influence.
Fossil fuel lobbyists are significantly outnumbering delegates from climate-vulnerable countries, with only 1,033 representatives present, highlighting the disparity in power dynamics at Cop29.
Activists condemned the presence of oil and gas lobbyists at the negotiations, arguing it delays progress on tackling the climate crisis and undermines urgent calls for a fossil fuel phaseout.
Delegations from fossil fuel companies like TotalEnergies and Glencore dominate the conference, indicating a serious conflict of interest at a summit meant to address climate change.
