UAE oil company employees given roles in office hosting Cop28

Exclusive: at least 12 officials at body hosting Cop28 appear to have come straight from fossil fuel industry

At least a dozen employees from the United Arab Emirate's state-owned oil company have apparently taken up roles with the office of the UAE's climate change special envoy, who will host this year's Cop28 UN climate summit.

The revelation adds to growing concerns over the potential for blurred lines between the team hosting this year's crucial summit and the oil-rich country's influential fossil fuel industry.
