The Gulf country hosting COP28 this week reportedly wanted to kill two birds with one climate summit: advancing environmental goals and selling fossil fuels.
COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber, who's also the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), allegedly planned to propose energy deals to international leaders involved in the UN conference, according to leaked docs seen by the Centre for Climate Reporting (CCR) and the BBC. His critics are flabbergasted by what seems to be a brazen conflict of interest.
Saving the planet…and oil rigs
The leaked briefing notes for Al Jaber's pre-summit meetings with officials from at least 15 countries mention fossil fuel deals. The proposed talking points show that he might've planned to...
Tell China's representative that Adnoc wants to expand its $15 billion natural gas partnership with the country.
Lobby Adnoc's interests in Brazil and signal to Egypt that it can count on the company to keep supplying petrochemicals.
CCR confirmed that Adnoc's business was discussed with at least one country. COP28 staff deny any UAE oil industry influence on the summit.
Zoom out: COP28 attendees will assess how far humanity is from hitting goals to slash carbon emissions. Organizers hope to boost the clean energy transition and create some consensus on the role of fossil fuels going forward, all while persuading rich countries to finance climate-change-related relief efforts
