A new analysis found that there are even more polluter representatives at this year's meeting than in 2021.

At last year’s UN climate meeting, known as the Conference of Parties

, organizers of the conference in Glasgow made a grand show of declaring fossil fuels unwelcome at the talks, banning corporate sponsorship from oil companies ahead of the conference. However, fossil fuel interests still found a way to piggyback into the discussion.

About 200 fossil fuel representatives are tagging along to COP as part of a country delegation, the analysis found. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the United Arab Emirates alone was responsible for bringing 70 of those delegates. . Coming in second was Russia, which brought 33 fossil fuel delegates. The 436 representatives not with specific country delegations, the analysis found, are attending with trade groups or other non-governmental organizations.
