At the COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, a group of activists took a stand against fossil fuel lobbyists, referring to them as “snakes” for their detrimental impact on the environment. The activists expressed their frustration with the presence of over 1,700 fossil fuel lobbyists at the summit, highlighting the influence these individuals have on climate policy decisions.
The activists called for greater accountability and transparency in the negotiations, urging world leaders to prioritize the wellbeing of the planet over corporate interests. They argued that the lobbyists’ presence undermines the goals of the summit, which aims to address the urgent climate crisis facing our planet.
The activists emphasized the need for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources. They criticized the lobbyists for perpetuating a reliance on fossil fuels, despite overwhelming scientific evidence of the harmful effects of climate change.
Overall, the activists’ message was clear: it is time to put the needs of the planet and future generations ahead of the profits of the fossil fuel industry. They called on world leaders to listen to the voices of those most affected by climate change and take bold steps towards a sustainable and just future.
