More than 100 companies and industry groups linked to fossil fuels sent delegations to Cop31 in Antalya, Turkey, an analysis found. Some of these delegations are larger than those from countries most vulnerable to climate impacts.

- The Kick Big Polluters Out coalition counted 103 groups with a record of blocking climate action or supporting fossil fuel interests.
- They include 60 fossil fuel industry bodies, 16 financial companies, six industrial agriculture and food products groups, three big tech groups and 20 cross-sector organisations.
- Exxon sent 13 delegates. TotalEnergies and BlackRock each sent five. 30 banks with delegations at Cop31 account for more than $2.2 trillion in fossil fuel financing over the past five years.
