Oil and gas companies willing to talk to UN
SIX European oil and gas companies called for a global carbon tax yesterday to cut emissions from fossil fuels.
The call by the chief executives of Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Eni, Total, Statoil and the BG Group came as UN climate talks resumed in the German city of Bonn yesterday.
“Our companies would like to open direct dialogue with the UN and willing governments,” the firms said in the letter addressed to UN climate chief Christiana Figueres and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
