COP30 PR Agency Edelman Lobbied Presidency to Favour Fossil Fuel Client

Exclusive: COP30 PR Agency Edelman Lobbied Presidency to Favour Fossil Fuel Client

As Edelman prepared to work on the climate summit’s PR, the agency also lobbied for fuel distributor Vibra Energia to help power it.

Environmental organisations, climate scientists, and Indigenous groups had already been urging Brazil to drop Edelman from its role handling media relations at COP30, taking place in the Amazonian city of Belém, due to the firm’s decades-long history of representing major greenhouse gas polluters such as Shell, Chevron, and ExxonMobil.
