Oil companies like ENI, emitters like Drax, and fossil fuel & genocide funders like HSBC have no business at a climate and nature conference.

Tens of thousands of people in Kabwe, including thousands of children, are suffering as a result of contamination left behind by lead mining, most of which occurred during British colonial rule. The mining company responsible and the UK must ensure justice and restitution for the people of Kabwe.
Yesterday, Lord Oates raised the lead pollution from colonial-era mining in Kabwe, Zambia, in the UK House of Lords with peers calling it a "horror" and a "shame"
Oates shared mothers' stories and said the UK as legal authority at the time has a moral responsiblity as well as miner Anglo American
