COP28 is officially the largest ever UN climate summit, with 80,000 participants registered on a list that — for the first time — shows who they work for.
Until this year, those taking part were not obliged to say who they worked for, making it tricky to detect lobbyists and identify negotiators’ potential conflicts of interest.
Some 104,000 people, including technical and security staff, have access this year to the “blue zone” dedicated to the actual climate negotiations and the pavilions of the states and organisations present.
