A recent report by F-Minus reveals a significant conflict of interest in Canadian lobbying, where environmental groups and major polluters share the same representatives.
Major environmental organizations and civil society groups are using lobbyists who also work for Canada's biggest polluters, potentially hindering the nation's climate action.
The report, prepared with Environmental Defence and re•generation, exposes the lobbying playbook of Big Oil.
The study was conducted by F-Minus, an American accountability monitor, in conjunction with Canada's leading environmental advocacy organization, Environmental Defence, and re•generation, a youth climate advocacy organization.
Author's summary: Canadian lobbyists represent polluters and environmental groups simultaneously.
