Climate activists are “baffled” over Egypt’s decision to have Coca-Cola – a major plastic producer – sponsor this year’s global climate talks. This year’s COP27 UN climate talks are hosted by the Egyptian government in November in Sharm el-Sheikh. Coca-Cola said it “shares the goal of eliminating waste and appreciates efforts to raise awareness”. But opposition to the decision has grown over the past week over Coca-Cola’s links to plastic pollution. Climate activists are accusing the company of “greenwashing” and more than 5,000 have now signed a petition calling for the decision to be reversed. Do you think that Coca-Cola is in business to protect its own business ?
