One in every 25 COP30 attendees is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to a new analysis by the Kick Big Polluters Out (KBPO) coalition.
It found that more than 1600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the UN climate summit in Belém, significantly outnumbering almost every country delegation at the talks. Only the host country, Brazil, has sent more people, with a delegation of 3805.
