UNFCCC ASKED TO KICK BIG POLLUTERS OUT OF CLIMATE POLICY

As the Bonn Climate Change Conference of the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) came to a close last week, Corporate Accountability
International delivered a resounding call to the parties of the UNFCCC on behalf
of hundreds of other organizations and hundreds of thousands people: protect the
treaty and climate policymaking from the undue influence of the globe’s biggest
polluters.

The call comes as record droughts and rainfall as well as
relentless heatwaves claim lives around the globe and some of the world’s
biggest polluters attempt to co-opt the treaty process and influence negotiating
outcomes. The meeting in Bonn, concluding June 11, is one of the last formal
meetings of the Parties before the next full Conference of the Parties to the
treaty in Paris – largely regarded as a make-or-break moment for the agreement.

“Why would you let the professional arsonist join the volunteer fire
department?” said Bill McKibben, author and co-founder of 350.org, “These are
the guys who want to keep the problem going, not solve it.”
From aggressive lobbying of national governments to bankrolling of international
meetings, the fossil fuel industry interferes at all levels. Industry
co-optation of treaty meetings has been a growing problem and a primary obstacle
to progress. At the 19thConference of the Parties (COP) in Warsaw, corporations
with a direct conflict of interest in the treaty’s success not only sponsored
the talks, they were given preferential access to delegates.
In May, it was revealed that COP 21 in Paris may be yet another “Corporate COP”
with the announcement of EDF and Suez Environnement as lead sponsors. Suez
Environnement, infamous for its dealings in water privatisation, is partially
owned by ENGIE, formerly GDF Suez, which profits from fracking operations around
the world, putting it at direct odds with the advancement of the treaty. ENGIE
and EDF’s coal operations contribute to nearly 50% of France’s emissions.
The cosy relationship between polluters and the UNFCCC has become increasingly
institutionalised. The Lima-Paris Action Agenda (LPAA), a joint project of the
incoming and outgoing COP presidents, the Office of the Secretary-General of the
United Nations and the UNFCCC Secretariat, encourages direct engagement with
non-state actors—primarily identified as sub-national governments and
corporations – as stakeholders in the policymaking process.
“The fossil fuel industry is not a partner in the solution – it is the driver of
the crisis. Giving big polluters a seat at the table glosses over the glaring
conflict of interest fossil fuel corporations have in a real solution to climate
change,” said John Stewart, deputy campaign director at Corporate Accountability
International. “Inviting gas, oil and coal corporations to shape climate policy
is akin to looking to Big Tobacco to shape public health policy.”
