Farming will be front and centre at this year’s COP. Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period.

Oil and gas has dominated discussions at past COPs, which have focused on the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the energy and transport sectors to tackle dangerous levels of global warming. Big companies which have previously accessed COP in this way include JBS, which came in with the Brazilian delegation for COP27 in Egypt.

They want the biggest, heaviest-polluting nations to do something about it. Stipulating the phaseout of “unabated fossil fuels” in a deal means that polluters can continue using coal, oil, and gas as long as they install controversial new technologies for capturing CO2 emissions that have yet to prove effective at scale.
