🚨 NEW: More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists on the ground in Brazil for U.N. climate talks.
The Philippines is facing devastating typhoons. Jamaica is still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. But it’s #BigPolluters that have direct access to #COP30.

6/ Therefore if its lobbyists can't tick the box, why should TotalEnergies be allowed to attend the UN climate talks in Brazil this November, aka COP30, which are working towards the goals of the Paris Agreement? It openly makes a mockery of the process.

5/ Now that a court has ruled that TotalEnergies' so-called "Paris-aligned" plan of being "net-zero emissions by 2050" is in fact greenwashing, and it's no longer able to claim such things, TotalEnergies is *not* "in full alignment" with "the goals and principles of the Paris Agreement"

4/ Thanks to years of hard work by the Kick Big Polluters Out campaign (which we're a member of), participants at this year's UN climate talks in Belém, Brazil, aka COP30, have to confirm if their participation is in "full alignment" with "the goal and principles of the Paris Agreement"

3/ "net-zero emissions by 2050" was the agreed goal of the Paris Agreement, signed at UN climate talks in 2015, aka COP21.
Since then, many fossil fuel companies, including Total, have adopted net zero plans while continuing with fossil fuel production, but have got away with it (until now).

1/ 🤔 indulge us in an exercise of logic, spread over a few posts
TL;DR? a new court ruling and a new disclosure mechanism should ban 🇫🇷 French oil & gas major ⛽ TotalEnergies from participating at COP30 in Brazil.

We have reason to be hopeful since the European Commission didn’t bring any fossil fuel executives last year 👍
But there is much room for improvement, since the EU Member States still brought more than 113 fossil fuel lobbyists to COP29 🫠

Some highlights from the interview with our campaigner @kimclaes.bsky.social:
1️⃣ About the EU Energy Industry Advisory Group, created after Russia's invasion in which the fossil Fuel got direct access to decision makers - and public subsidies.

Exposure is a great way to stop these firms from undermining climate action while posing as sustainability champions.

❗Dirty hydrogen uncovered ❗
Thanks to excessive lobbying from big polluters, the EU is just about to label hydrogen made from fossil gas as clean.
Find out how they lobby behind closed doors to skew emissions accounting models in their favour.

The same companies were lobbying tirelessly for billion-Euro subsidies to maintain their competitiveness and as contribution to their green transition.
The report makes it clear: the problem is not a lack of money, but their prioritisation of shareholder payouts over investment.
