*[Enwl-eng] Fw: Why are hundreds of fossil fuel negotiators at the UN climate summit?

[ENWL]

                        Dirty energy negotiators have no place at COP26!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        The Fossil Fuel Industry Was More Represented at the UN's Climate Summit Than Any Country

                        There is one entity at the UN's recent climate change summit (dubbed COP26) that has taken this convention more seriously than all others, powered by a larger delegation than any country in the entire world. But it's not a country: it's the fossil fuel industry. Associated with approximately 503 delegates, dirty oil, gas, and coal sent sent more spokespeople to negotiate for its interests than did the U.S., China, Russia, India, or any other huge powerhouse countries. 



                        Not only do corporate interests get a seat at the table, but other people who should be included have been essentially locked out. Since the conference venue and its shuttle bus are not wheelchair accessible, grassroots activists and prominent speakers alike have been blocked from attendance, including Israel's minister of energy, Karine Elharrar. The summit also does not provide sign language interpreters at its main speaking events, leaving both deaf individuals and those with other hearing disabilities completely cut off. Why should fossil fuel insiders get to determine the future of our planet, but people using wheelchairs or who are deaf cannot?



                        The UN got its priorities all wrong when determining which guests to prioritize and elevate during its COP26 climate summit. Next time, it must commit to uplifting the voices of those who are marginalized, providing accessible venues, and blocking oil, gas, and coal delegates from attendance! Sign the petition now.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Fossil fuel lobbyists have no place at a convention intended to save our future from the destructive ways of oil, gas, and coal. Sign the petition to demand industry-linked delegates be banned from future UN climate summits!
