A Big Reason UN Climate Talks Aren’t Working February 17, 2020

Sponsorships give oil, coal and gas groups access to events and delegates, creating opportunities to push to weaken the Paris Agreement.
In response, a youth-led group of activists is calling for an end to polluter funding at future COPs.
