|a The corporations most responsible for contributing
to climate change emissions and profiting from those
activities are campaigning to increase their access to
international negotiations and, at the same time, working
to defeat progressive legislation on climate change and
energy around the world.
These corporations – while making public statements
that appear to show their concern for climate change
and working with their own seemingly progressive
trade associations like the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development (WBCSD) – threaten to defeat
urgent global progress on climate change and economic
development for the 99% of the world’s population that
desires both clean energy and clean air.
This report helps to demonstrate why decisive action on
the climate is being increasingly ousted from the political
agenda. Firstly we summarise the lack of action at a
national level in several key countries to build the right
preconditions to a global climate agreement, which stands
in stark contrast to public opinion demanding change.
Then, the report reveals through clear case studies
how a handful of major polluting corporations such as
Eskom, BASF, ArcelorMittal, BHP Billiton, Shell and Koch
Industries, as well as the industry associations that they are
members of, are influencing governments and the political
process on climate legislation. |
