🌎 Why are influencers so important in this conversation? 🌍

The creators and influencers who signed this letter are a vital part of the communication ecosystem around the COP. They’re the people that agencies like Edelman rely on to promote their clients and what's happening at COP.

➡️ Leadership overlap makes the situation even worse. Key Edelman executive Ana Julião is overseeing comms for both COP30 and Shell effectively helping script the climate conversation while advocating for an oil major.
🚨That’s not “experience.” It’s institutionalized bias.

➡️ Edelman is Shell’s agency of record while leading communications for the UN climate talks. The same firm is shaping messages about solving the climate crisis.
🚨You can’t serve the public good and the polluter playbook at the same time.

This isn’t just another networking event, it’s a chance to flex your skills, connect with values-aligned pros, and help reshape the industry.

Should they be dropped from the role? Let us know in the comments. ⬇️

How can you advise on cutting fossil fuels when your business model depends on selling more of them? Edelman’s dirty work isn’t just bad for the planet. It undermines the credibility of the Climate Talks.

That’s not just a bad look. 🔍 It’s a glaring conflict of interest. 🙅
