The United Kingdom\u2019s shambolic management of the event, its strict visa requirements and its failure to deliver on its promised, pre-COP\u00a0vaccination plan for attendees from nations with low vaccine availability have made<strong>\u00a0this summit the whitest, most privileged\u00a0COP\u00a0in its 30-year history<\/strong>.\u201d \u201cWhile widespread access challenges have prevented thousands from participating, over 500 oil, gas and coal lobbyists have been given the red carpet treatment.
