The oily hands of the #fossilfuels industry have #COP27 in its grip, with more than 630 lobbyists present in Sharm El-Sheik.

The calls to #KickBigPollutersOut are growing. But what are the concrete demands behind the call?

Thread 🧵👇🏽
kickbigpollutersout.org/demands
🛑 Stop Big Polluters writing the rules via their access to policy making.

🧾The UNFCCC needs to establish an accountability framework to end the #corporatecapture.

No more bankrolling the climate talks via sponsorship. Big Polluters only use it to greenwash their image and avoid responsibility for a crisis they have caused.

#Twitter’s track record was already bad to begin with:

🚩Fines for selling users’ data
🚩Breaching EU data laws
🚩Algorithm has amplified hate speech

And all to sustain its business model based on surveillance advertising

As French citizens get ready to vote this weekend, with polls indicating a tighter-than-expected race, it’s timely to revisit the ongoing 🇫🇷 Presidency of the EU Council #PFUE, Macron’s record, and the toxic background of his far-right opponent...

👀🧵👇 Image
#UndertheInfluence written w/ @transnationales showed how #PFUE was prepared in collaboration w/ 🇫🇷 corporate sector & has policy agenda reflecting business demands.

Privileged access, revolving doors, corporate sponsorship helped give industry upper hand
tinyurl.com/282r8d73
Macron strategy to use #PFUE quick-wins to help election has not worked, partly due to appalling 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦

But 🇫🇷 has not played cards well. OECD corporate tax file might have been a win but, despite making file even weaker, 🇵🇱 veto means no deal
