| 0:00.0 | The climate criminal is the one who is also pretending to be the mesire of the people, |
| 0:08.0 | to be the one providing solutions to the same problems that they are causing. |
| 0:14.0 | They felt comfortable enough to bring one of the most polluting industries in the world into the climate talks and give them a platform like, surely it just shows how far away we are and getting where we need to be and how close that relationship is. You're listening to EU Watchdog Radio. |
| 0:45.3 | Hi, welcome. I'm Pasco Savido, researcher and campaigner at Corporate Europe Observatory, |
| 0:51.1 | or CEO. Exceptionally, I'm going to be the host of today's episode of EU Watchdog Radio, where I'm |
| 0:57.9 | going to be talking to Adironka Eager from corporate accountability and public participation |
| 1:02.4 | Africa, or Kappa, and who is at the moment at COP27 in Egypt. |
