IACC | Profit over planet: harnessing data to expose & halt big polluter influence in climate action

From the COP to the hallways of Parliaments, big polluters are derailing advances in climate action. Corporate lobbyists exploit the path towards a sustainable future through their financial arsenal. Evidence of this is key to holding their actions to account. From policy to the impact on society, discover how data empowers citizens to change a system of undue influence that puts profits over the planet.

The tide is increasingly turning against recent progress on climate action as climate scientists are alarmed as the window of opportunity for action is rapidly closing. Against this backdrop, civil society is asking crucial questions about the role of corporate lobbyists.

At our panel debate, data-driven initiatives from around the world that highlight weak regulatory frameworks, resource imbalances and greenwashing will be presented, and experts will explain how data is part of a broader strategy to combat corporate lobbying in climate policy.
