France defends 'imperfect' fossil fuel sponsors for Paris climate summit | Environment | The Guardian



Who's
sponsoring this year's UN climate talks in Paris? Fossil fuel firms and
big greenhouse gas emitters: EDF, Engie (formerly GDF Suez), Air
France, Renault-Nissan and BNP Paribas.


“While the French
government had said that they would look for businesses with flawless
reputations, many of them are involved in projects harmful to people,
their quality of life and work,” said Malika Peyraut of Les Amis de la
Terre France
