The objectives of the fossil fuel industry [🟰the very actors that have fueled the climate crisis] are fundamentally in conflict with the goals of the #ParisAgreement. When discussing the participation of rights holders, we should also discuss undue influence by corporate actors.

⁠#ClimateAction will continue to fail to meaningfully address the #ClimateCrisis as long as polluting interests are granted unlimited access to policymaking processes and are allowed to unduly influence and weaken the critical work of the UNFCCC.

"The International Court of Justice climate ruling made clear that States have a duty to regulate private actors & their activities in the face of #ClimateChange. This duty should include excluding them from participating in treaty regimes in ways that undermine those very regimes & their goals".

The climate crisis is too dire to continue as we always have. The UNFCCC needs to evolve into a space free from corporate capture, one that delivers results rather than endless discussion, starting by putting in place #ConflictOfInterest policies to address corporate influence.
