#COP27 is the “African COP” yet the fossil fuel delegation is larger than that of any African country.

There are more than twice the number of delegates at #COP27 representing #fossilfuel interests as indigenous peoples, and almost three times as many as are representing women and gender at the talks.

The only country with more representatives than the #fossilfuel industry was next year's host, the UAE 🇦🇪.

The UAE brought more than 1000 representatives to #COP27, including 70 oil&gas lobbyists.

Will #COP28 see even more access for big polluters?

Would tobacco lobbyists be welcome at a health conference? Arms dealers at a peace convention? So why are fossil fuel companies into #COP27?

425+ orgs globally are calling on govts to #KickBigPollutersOut of COP27.
