Nearly 2,500 fossil fuel lobbyists had access to this year’s annual COP summit in Dubai—the U.N.-led conference on climate change—almost four times as many as were present at the previous year’s edition. Fossil fuels were also, perhaps unsurprisingly, a huge sticking point in the negotiations, with oil-producing countries at loggerheads with most other parts of the world. There were even rumors—which ultimately proved unfounded—that this might be the first time that a COP summit would conclude without any agreement at all. Policymakers and economic actors are now trying to figure out what the agreement entails.
