Undercover filming shows COP29 chief exec discussing new oil and gas projects ahead of climate summit.
A senior official at COP29 climate change conference in Azerbaijan appears to have used his role to arrange a meeting to discuss potential fossil fuel deals, the BBC can report.
It is understood that one of its representatives approached the COP29 team posing as the head of a fictitious Hong Kong investment firm specialising in energy. Soltanov then described natural gas as a "transitional fuel", adding: "We will have a certain amount of oil and natural gas being produced, perhaps forever."
Attempting to do business deals as part of the COP process appears to be a serious breach of the standards of conduct expected of a COP official.
