New report on the fossil fuel lobby in Czechia ☣️ Free download — link in comments ⬇️ We expose how the fossil lobby blocks climate action & justice. The report names Czech politicians incl. MEP Tomáš Zdechovský (EPP), Minister of Industry Karel Havlíček & Environment Minister Petr Macinka.

The climate needs a fair, fast and funded fossil fuel phase-out, so why did EU governments roll out the red carpet for the oil and gas industry at #COP30? Our take on this year's UN climate talks and what went down. #KickBigPollutersOut #FossilFreePolitics corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/c...

The Trojan horse of net zero 🐴 “Instead of focusing on the fossil phase-out, we’re funding a lifeline for the industry driving the crisis" said @kimclaes.bsky.social about the Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) tech. Listen to Argos's new podcast for the full story (NL) argos.vpro.nl/artikelen/go...

The Commission's Industrial Carbon Management Forum #ICMForum starts MONDAY. Decision makers and fossil lobbyists will plan how to roll-out #CCS, a proven-to-fail technofix that allows polluters to keep polluting at great public cost. New briefing: corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/m... @ec.europa.eu

🔴 BREAKING: Analysis from @oilchange.bsky.social and @corporateeurope.org reveals €17+ billion of public funds poured into #CCS in Europe since 2001. After decades of failures, fossil fuel ties keep influencing the EU Commission at the #ICMForum. Read more 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/fa...

BREAKING: EU Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu says “We are not fighting fossil fuels, we are fighting the emissions from fossil fuels” She is parroting oil&gas industry lines, pushing unproven costly technologies like CCS + CO2 removals to keep using fossil fuels. #FossilFreePolitics

Truth hard to hear above the chorus of fossil fuel voices at COP

Some good reads about fossil fuel lobbyists at COP ✨ Euronews: www.euronews.com/green/2025/1... Reporterre (FR): reporterre.net/En-depit-des...

Meat giant JBS, accused of clearing the Amazon rainforest for cattle ranching, has 8️⃣ lobbyists at the 🇺🇳 U.N. climate talks in Brazil. But it’s not the only #BigAg polluter on the ground. @desmog.com's latest analysis reveals that 300+ industry reps are at #COP30, undermining climate action.

Stormy start for week two in Belém: 👍 Civil Society Pledge for Fossil Free Politics 👎 Carbon Capture and Storage lobbies roaming wildly at COP30

The Civil Society Pledge for Fossil Free Politics has launched, and 96 organisations have already signed up! 🚀 Learn more about our new collaboration with @caneurope.org 👇

The figures are out, but there's a whole day of activities planned in Belém to highlight the destructive role of big polluters at #COP30. If you're inside, head to the action at 8am local time. At 11am there's also a press conference #KickBigPollutersOut 🔥

Working with the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition, Fossil Free Politics has done some more digging at the EU level, and it's not pleasant reading - especially if you're 🇫🇷 French or 🇮🇹 Italian. Their governments have rolled out the red carpet once more for some of the planet's biggest climate criminals.

📣 BREAKING: One out of every 25 attendees walking around the #COP30 climate talks is a fossil fuel lobbyist. New research from #KickBigPollutersOut reveals there are more than 1,600 in the UN negotiations in Brazil. Here's a thread with the top findings 🧵 kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick...

"Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all COP30 delegations except Brazil" - via @ninalakhani.bsky.social in @theguardian.com Time to kick them out? ⏰ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 NEW: More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists on the ground in Brazil for U.N. climate talks. The Philippines is facing devastating typhoons. Jamaica is still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. But it’s #BigPolluters that have direct access to #COP30. kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick...

Not again!? 84 fossil fuel lobbyists were brought by EU countries to #COP30 😤 See the detailed results of the research done 👇 fossilfreepolitics.org/news/eu-brin... It is time to free politics from the influence of the fossil fuel industry 🔥 #FossilFreePolitics #FossilFreeEU #KickBigPollutersOut

A letter signed by more than 100 organisations was sent to Hoekstra, asking not to bring fossil fuel lobbyists to COP30 🇧🇷 👍 Promisingly, there were no lobbyists in the official EU delegation last year 👎EU Member States still brought 113 lobbyists ✉️: fossilfreepolitics.org/news/cop30-l... #COP30

NEW on 🔍 Deregulation Watch 🔎 Under pressure from the #Hydrogen lobby, EU Commission agrees to review its rules on producing #greenhydrogen 2 years earlier than planned. Industry wants sustainability criteria weakened... Expect more fossil gas consumption. corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

1/ 🤔 indulge us in an exercise of logic, spread over a few posts TL;DR? a new court ruling and a new disclosure mechanism should ban 🇫🇷 French oil & gas major ⛽ TotalEnergies from participating at COP30 in Brazil.

✊ Victoire pour le climat : Total vient d'être condamnée pour greenwashing ! A la veille de la COP30, cette décision crée un précédent juridique majeur contre la désinformation climatique des majors pétrolières. Notre communiqué 👇 www.amisdelaterre.org/communique-p...

➕🚗🏭 new calculations show that if all new gas plants with CCS currently proposed by industry were to go ahead - even at a 90% capture rate - they could emit 2.4-5 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, the same as adding 1.3-2.6 million petrol cars per year in the UK.

📢 🚨New Report - How the UK oil and gas industry spent 15 years pushing for subsidies & incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage rather than regulatory accountability or science-based emissions reductions; maintaining a funding pipeline for a technology yet to deliver on its promises 👇

We've taken another step in tackling industry interference at the UN climate talks ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 Sustained campaigning from the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition means all non-govt participants heading to COP30 now have to declare who's funding their attendance. kickbigpollutersout.org/COP30-next-s...

The EU's top court has just ruled that nuclear energy and fossil gas are "green" and count as sustainable investments 🤯 Shows you just how green the EU is (and the influence that the #gaslobby has over politics). Really disappointing. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Gastech 2025 has begun in Milan, bringing together oil majors and governments - behind a paywall 💰🤫 ENG: 😡 “Come all to the gas and gas derivatives fair!” It's time for Gastech 2025, “the world's largest event dedicated to natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, climate tech, and AI in the energy sector.”

What antics have the fossil fuel enablers been up to over the summer? Law firm Marzulla Law, which supports groups fighting offshore wind farms, is pressuring Brown University to retract its research linking anti-wind groups to the fossil fuel industry. #FAIL www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

The UK trying to do what the UK does best: second oil&gas and arms companies into government! Such a successful tactic in the past, foreign secretary David Lammy tries it again but faces massive push back. #fossilfreepolitics www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ever wondered how Europe got hooked on US gas? Based on research by our good friends at ARIA, this article shows how just one lobbyist can be enough to convince our leaders to go for American LNG. It's another reason we need to cut fossil fuels out of our politics. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

ICYMI: Last week @corporateeurope.org was in the EU Parliament for a special screening of their new film about the struggle of South African communities against new green hydrogen projects. 🚨 SPOILER ALERT: Green hydrogen is being used by the fossil fuels industry to greenwash their activities 👀

Governments are in Bonn for the UN climate negotiations. They have the chance to tackle conflicts of interest and stop the fossil fuel lobby's damaging impact on the talks. @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu will you ensure the EU supports action on conflicts of interest? #SB62 #PollutersOut

As governments meet in Bonn for the UN climate talks, here's another timely reminder for @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu The EU needs to get behind effort to protect the talks from fossil fuel industry interference. We need a conflict of interest policy at the UNFCCC + in Brussels! #PollutersOut #SB62
