"How corporations rule. Part 4: Anglo American’s dirty energy lobby and its false climate solutions", Nov 2014

Instead of governments and international public institutions like the United Nations reigning in corporations that harm people and the environment they are, themselves, more and more controlled by those corporations. [This report] expose[s] how corporations are undermining crucial climate policies, and promoting false solutions that will allow them to profit from the climate crisis, while expanding the extraction of dirty energy. This is exemplified through the case of the British-South African company Anglo American, which this report examines from its activities at the world’s biggest open-pit coal mine in Cerrejón, in La Guajira,Colombia, all the way up to its lobbying at the UNFCCC.
