Is the corporate world too close to COP?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Is the corporate world too close to COP?

The international climate summit has embraced big business involvement - is it too close?

The international climate meeting has grown from meetings attended by government and scientists, to a giant event teeming with big businesses.

Greenhouse gas levels have never been higher. If we're to limit global warming, businesses have a crucial role to play because they operate in sectors that need to radically change, like energy, transport and finance.

Thousands of company bosses are touching down in Dubai for this year's COP28 climate change talks. But environmentalists claim many businesses are not acting fast enough. 

They're increasingly concerned about the growing number of fossil fuel companies attending these summits. Are they right to be worried?
