The ongoing COP27 climate conference have 636 registered lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry, which is an increase with more than 25% compared to COP26 in Glasgow last year. At COP27 in there is only one country with a larger delegation than the registered fossil fuel lobbyists, the United Arab Emirates, which shows how huge the number of lobbyists is at this year’s climate conference. The large presence of the fossil fuel industry at COP27 have been widely criticized. One reason is that corporate interests risk to diminish voices and delegations from the countries most affected by global warming, and as well risk to “stymieing negotiations at an essential time”. Additionally is the fact that fossil industries are allowed to participate in climate conferences highly contradictory, due to their well known large climate impact, according to my subjective view. To summarize, fossil fuel lobbyists can not be allowed to participate in crucial climate negotiations and conferences, where they risk to hinder climate action work. We need the most efficient and serious global cooperation possible to mitigate effects of global warming to the fullest.

It is a general warning that fossil fuel industries should not be allowed in climate negotiations.
