Fossil Fuel Giants Paying Thousands to Sponsor COP29 Events

Oil and gas giants are paying tens of thousands of dollars in order to
sponsor events at this year’s flagship climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.
This year’s conference began on Monday (11 November). Over the course of
the 11-day summit, known as COP29, negotiators and leaders across the globe
will put in place commitments to address the climate crisis and assist the
worst-hit countries.

The International Emissions Trading Association
(IETA), a business lobby comprised of some of the world’s largest fossil
fuel producers and greenhouse gas emitters, is hosting a series of events
in its COP29 BusinessHub pavilion, sponsored by oil and gas giants
including Chevron, ExxonMobil, SOCAR, and TotalEnergies.
