Every
year, the world's five largest publicly owned oil and gas companies
spend approximately $200 million on lobbying designed to control, delay
or block binding climate-motivated policy. This has caused problems for
governments seeking to implement policies in the wake of the Paris
Agreement which are vital in meeting climate change targets. Companies
are generally reluctant to disclose such lobbying expenditure and late
last week, a report from InfluenceMap
used a methodology focusing on the best available records along with
intensive research of corporate messaging to gauge their level of
influence on initiatives to halt climate change.
