A total of 113 fossil fuel industry representatives have traveled to COP29 in Baku on a ticket from EU member states. Greece, Italy, Sweden and Belgium in particular have invited dozens of lobbyists, most of whom work for gas companies, as an analysis by Kick Big Polluters Out shows. Germany did not bring any fossil fuel lobbyists on its ticket, and the EU Commission also responded to criticism of the conflict of interest after the last COP28 in Dubai.
