A recent study by F-Minus exposes a significant conflict of interest in Canadian lobbying, where environmental groups and major polluters share the same lobbyists.
According to the report, prepared in conjunction with Environmental Defence and re•generation, major Canadian environmental organizations and civil society groups are using lobbyists who also represent big polluters, potentially undermining the nation's climate action.
The nation’s climate action is taking a back seat to Big Oil’s lobbying playbook.
The report highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in lobbying practices to ensure that environmental interests are not compromised by conflicting representations.
Author's summary: Canadian lobbyists represent polluters and environmental groups simultaneously.
