More than 302 industrial agriculture (Big Ag) lobbyists representing the world’s largest food and farming companies were given access to the COP30 climate talks in Belém, Brazil.
Members of the global campaign to Kick Big Polluters Out decry the number of Big Ag lobbyists at COP30 and demand: “Stop frying the planet! Kick Big Polluters Out!”

Civil society groups and networks representing millions condemn COP30 President Designate's invitation to corporate interests without protections against conflicts of interest, calling it a "dangerous oversight" that threatens climate action
