Almost 200 organizations have joined the manifesto Fossil Free Politics in the EU published a few days ago to denounce that the five largest oil and gas companies in the world – BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell and Total – have spent 251.3 million euros in nine years to finance their offices in Brussels, from where they try to negatively influence the policies of the community institutions, delaying and weakening the EU’s action against the climate crisis .
Ecoserveis is one of the entities that signs this manifesto which points out , among other things, that these five companies are responsible for 7.4% of the total greenhouse gas emissions produced between 1988 and 2015.
The signatory entities and organizations highly value the impact that the manifesto has had, and proof of this is the coverage that more than 150 media outlets from around the world have given it, such as The Guardian , Agence France-Presse , Mediapart , SuedDeutsche , La Stampa , De Morgen , Público , Jornal Economico or Napsava , among many others.
However, the project does not stop. Entities and organizations that wish to do so can continue to join through the registration form and, in addition, the hashtag #FossilFreePolitics is still valid on social networks. Ultimately, the goal is to continue shedding light on the fossil fuel industry and ensure public policies that work for a green and sustainable energy transition .
