Fossil fuel trade associations have sent more than 6,400 delegates to climate talks since 1995, including delegates from Shell, BP and Exxon Mobil.
Fossil fuel industry giants such as Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell are maintaining an outsize presence at global climate discussions, working to undermine scientific consensus and slow policy progress, according to findings released last week by an environmental monitoring organization.
Former Global Climate Coalition members have attended events representing organizations that include the International Emissions Trading Assn. and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Since 2002, the two groups alone have combined to send 2,673 delegates, according to Climate Investigations Center data. Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP each belong to at least one of the groups, according to the trade groups’ websites. The companies have collectively contributed 5.
The presence of the fossil fuel industry is, of course, required at such gatherings. Without its cooperation, it would be impossible to implement the large-scale changes needed to fight climate change. “They not only do not want a policy, they don’t even want a record of them talking about it,” Bragg said. “That’s been one of the primary obstacles to getting this addressed in the first place.”
