<P>Hi,</P>
<P><STRONG>In November next year COP26, the UN climate talks, will be held in
Glasgow</STRONG> – a critical moment for global leaders to make decisions to
protect our future.</P>
<P>Every year, big companies sponsor the climate talks and the UK government
have stated recently that they want the companies sponsoring COP26 to be
"<EM>driving positive change and innovation towards a lower carbon
world".[1]</EM></P>
<P><STRONG>But it’s been revealed that big fossil fuel companies like BP and
Shell are trying to get their logos in the picture.</STRONG> What’s even
worse is that it looks like the summit organisers are seriously considering
it.[2]</P>

href="https://act.350.org/go/212672?t=6&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit&akid=132290%2E4050260%2EvDHekG"><STRONG>Tell
Alok Sharma, President of COP26, that big polluters have no place at the climate
talks. </STRONG></A></P>
<P><STRONG>Fossil fuel companies are desperate to look like they’re part of the
solution and they know how to say the right things.</STRONG></P>
<P>But we know that BP’s own ‘net zero’ announcement contains some huge
loopholes[3] and they continue to be one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel
producers, openly admitting that they want to still be extracting oil and gas in
2050. Shell and Equinor’s climate plans are even weaker. </P>
<P>COP26 will lose all credibility if it is sponsored by any of the companies or
banks that are driving the climate crisis, especially those who are seeking to
dress up their destruction with inadequate targets and false
solutions. </P>
<P>Fossil fuel companies are climate criminals. <STRONG>BP and Shell are
responsible for human rights violations and climate impacts across the globe and
they have no place in the talks.</STRONG> If a company is currently a major
polluter, then it should not be allowed to buy credibility by sponsoring the
negotiations.</P>
<P>We have a short window of time to act before the sponsors are
selected. </P>
<P>Let’s make sure the government knows that polluters have no place in
Glasgow.</P>
