Why this petition matters

I was a delegate at COP26 in Glasgow. Most days I felt despair - some days I cried. The infiltration of corporations into the conference was sickening - the collected CEOs of the world's biggest polluters, brazenly lobbying politicians to protect their interests and inflate their profits, telling us how we could save the planet if we bought more of their stuff.

This year it’s even worse - the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has announced that Coca-Cola will be the corporate sponsor of the global climate conference, COP27, held in Egypt next month.

Plastic is suffocating our planet and, year after year, one company leads the pack of polluters - Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola spends millions of dollars greenwashing their brand, making us believe that they are solving the problem. But, behind the scenes, they have a long history of lobbying to delay and derail regulations that would prevent pollution, keeping us addicted to disposable plastic.

This must stop.

COP conferences are supposed to be gatherings of national leaders, engaged in urgent negotiations to prevent climate change, not a multi-million dollar jamboree for corporate polluters and their lobbyists.

The UNFCCC must stop receiving corporate sponsorship today - starting with ejecting Coca-Cola as sponsor of COP27.

Please sign this petition and share widely. Together we can tell national leaders that we don't want polluters meddling with our climate policies.
