In total 1,261 business and industry delegates registered for Cop16 in Cali, Colombia, which ended in disarray and without significant progress on a number of key issues including nature funding, monitoring biodiversity loss and work on reducing environmentally harmful business subsidies. The number is more than double the 613 present at the UN\u2019s previous biodiversity conference in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the number of attendees increased by 46%, making Cop16 the largest UN nature conference yet, although business and industry increased disproportionately. Industry groups working in pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, agrochemicals, food and beverage processing and tech all had more people registered to attend, according to the analysis by DeSmog. Some question the influence that these companies might have had on the outcomes of the summit negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Sectors with the greatest increases included food and beverage processing (up 460%) and tech (up 333%). The presence of agrochemical, pesticide and seed companies increased by 40% and 24% respectively since Cop15. \u201cWe certainly saw a stronger lobbying push for policies that favour agricultural productivity, and that clashed with the conservation goals and the position of civil society,\u201d said Oscar Soria, director of the Common Initiative thinktank.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a 25% increase in biotech representatives, who Soria said were \u201caggressive in pushing back on progress related to digital sequencing information (DSI)\u201d. This was the voluntary agreement to make companies share profits from commercial discoveries derived from nature\u2019s genetics. \u201cSeems all of a sudden the private and business sector woke up and now they\u2019re trying to defend their interests,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Agrochemical and biotech industry trade group CropLife International sent 17 representatives. There were 10 representatives from Nestl\u00e9, and nine from ExxonMobil. This is more than some country delegations, including Belize which had seven delegates, Jamaica with six and the Bahamas with two.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/nov\/13\/meat-oil-and-pesticide-industry-lobbyists-turned-out-in-record-numbers-at-cop16\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/meat-oil-and-pesticide-industry-lobbyists-turned-out-in-record-numbers-at-cop16\/\">Meat, oil and pesticide industry lobbyists turned out in record numbers at Cop16<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16560,2278,1131,594,1608,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cop16","tag-industry","tag-meat","tag-oil","tag-pesticide","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135359\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
