Energy groups warn of tech companies' participation in COP31 over China connection

Energy groups say tech companies with China ties should stay away from COP31, warning their presence could undermine climate talks, the letter says.

  • A coalition of energy and policy groups sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to bar federal contractors from COP31, citing national security concerns regarding tech companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google.
  • Signatories, including the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, argue that participating firms undercut U.S. foreign policy and are teaming up with Communist China against national security interests.
  • Steve Milloy, former EPA transition advisor, told The Center Square that supporting COP31 is "fundamentally dishonest" because publicly traded companies cannot affect climate despite legal duties to be honest.
  • James Taylor, president of The Heartland Institute, stated that "large corporations should never be allowed to do governments' dirty work" that bypasses legislative processes or violates the Constitution.
  • COP31, an annual climate conference organized by the United Nations, began Monday in Turkey, while the groups also voiced support for the President's withdrawal from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
