- 🚨📣InfluenceMap has just launched our Annual COP Narrative Tracker Keeping track of the favoured narratives from the oil and gas industry over the last year. This year - three key facts stood out from the analysis 👇🧵 cop.influencemap.org/NarrativeFac...
- 1️⃣ Between COP20 and COP30, oil and gas companies and their industry associations 📈increased📈 their use of misleading narratives about the energy transition by one third compared to the year before COP29.
- 2️⃣ The oil & gas industries' most used arguments focus on emphasizing the benefits of fossil gas for 💰affordability & energy security💰, leading these types of arguments to overtake those that emphasize limitations/uncertainties of alternative solutions (its previously favoured talking point).
- 3️⃣ Almost 2/3(64.5%) of misleading narratives from the fossil fuel industry regarding the energy transition were used in 🗣️CEO messaging or direct engagement with policymakers🗣️ demonstrating how these narratives are part of a deliberate high-level strategy aimed at shaping the policy environment.Nov 11, 2025 14:12
