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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🔥
BREAKING: One out of every 25 attendees at the #COP30 climate talks in Brazil is a fossil fuel lobbyist.
The arsonists aren’t just in the building — they’re throwing fuel on the fire. #KickOutTheSuits and #KickBigPollutersOut now!

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.

🚨 NEW: More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists on the ground in Brazil for U.N. climate talks.

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

#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.

6/ Therefore if its lobbyists can't tick the box, why should TotalEnergies be allowed to attend the UN climate talks in Brazil this November, aka COP30, which are working towards the goals of the Paris Agreement? It openly makes a mockery of the process.
#KickBigPollutersOut
5/ Now that a court has ruled that TotalEnergies' so-called "Paris-aligned" plan of being "net-zero emissions by 2050" is in fact greenwashing, and it's no longer able to claim such things, TotalEnergies is *not* "in full alignment" with "the goals and principles of the Paris Agreement"

4/ Thanks to years of hard work by the Kick Big Polluters Out campaign (which we're a member of), participants at this year's UN climate talks in Belém, Brazil, aka COP30, have to confirm if their participation is in "full alignment" with "the goal and principles of the Paris Agreement"

3/ "net-zero emissions by 2050" was the agreed goal of the Paris Agreement, signed at UN climate talks in 2015, aka COP21.
Since then, many fossil fuel companies, including Total, have adopted net zero plans while continuing with fossil fuel production, but have got away with it (until now).
2/ A three year battle by Fossil Free Politics member @amisdelaterre.org has seen the courts find French 🇫🇷 oil and gas major TotalEnergies guilty of greenwashing, in particular its narrative of reaching "net zero emissions by 20250".
www.lemonde.fr/en/environme...
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.
