"Plastic is suffocating our planet and, year after year, one company leads the pack of polluters - Coca-Cola.” At COP27, the world climate conference in Egypt next month, Coca-Cola are the company sponsor. Georgia writes "the UNFCCC must stop receiving corporate sponsorship.”
I was one of the delegate at COP26 in Glasgow last time. Most days I felt despair - some days I cried. The infiltration of corporations into the conference was sickening - the collected CEOs of the world’s biggest polluters, brazenly lobbying politicians to guard their interests and inflate their profits, telling us how we could save the world if we bought more of their stuff.
This year it’s even worse - the world organisation Framework Convention on temperature change (UNFCCC) has announced that Coca-Cola are going to bethe company sponsor of the world climate conference, COP27, held in Egypt next month.
Plastic is suffocating our planet and, year after year, one company leads the pack of polluters - Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola spends numerous dollars greenwashing their brand, making us believe that they're solving the matter. But, behind the scenes, they need a protracted history of lobbying to delay and derail regulations that will prevent pollution, keeping us keen about disposable plastic.
This must stop ASAP.
COP conferences are presupposed to be gatherings of national leaders, engaged in urgent negotiations to fore stall global climate change, not a multi-million dollar jamboree for corporate polluters and their lobbyists.
The UNFCCC must stop receiving corporate sponsorship today - starting with ejecting Coca-Cola as sponsor of COP27.
Please support our cause and share widely. Together we are able to tell national leaders that we don’t want polluters meddling with our climate policies
