CLIMATE activists in Africa have accused the United Nations climate agency of allowing corporations with dubious climate credentials to greenwash their polluting activities by taking part in its annual climate conference.
The criticism follows last week’s announcement that oil executive Sultan al-Jaber will lead the next round of UN climate talks, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates in November.
The Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) termed the move as the lowest moment for the UN agency.
