COP26

Rejected by the climate justice movement, the final COP26 text mirrors the agenda of rich developed countries and their oil and gas industries.

At least 503 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to COP26, flooding the Glasgow conference with corporate influence.

Here you can see our video diaries, and get to know all about the toxic tours that are taking place at the COP and in the streets of Glasgow, the events going on in the People's Summit as well as at COP26, and some interviews with activists.

In this new episode of EU Watchdog Radio we take the temperature of the international climate conference COP26, which started this week in Glasgow. Activist Greta Thunberg is right by saying and sometime shouting the word ‘Greenwashing’ all over Glasgow.

The climate summit is set to address 'finance flows' to protect us from climate change. But the proposals are developed by the financial industry and full of loopholes. And not only that: big financiers of big polluters, such as BlackRock, Bank of America and Citigroup, will take charge of implementation.

New research by Fossil Free Politics members CEO, FoEE and FWAE explores 70+ revolving doors cases between six of Europe's big oil and gas companies (BP, Shell, Total, ENI, Equinor, Galp and five of their lobby groups) and the public sector between 2015 (COP21) and 2021 (COP26). These revolving door cases demonstrate just how normalised the fossil fuel industry model, it’s assumptions, power, and culture are.
