A senior corporate executive has criticised the event, saying it is meant to 'save the planet' and not 'milk sponsorship opportunities'.
Every year, almost 200 countries meet to discuss how to jointly tackle the climate crisis and its impacts. Thousands of observers, civil society groups and media attend too.
COP stands for Conference of the Parties, referring to governments that have signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change .Sponsors at last year's event included Microsoft and Coca-Cola, the company named the world's largest plastics polluter in the 2022 Break Free From Plastic's global brand audit.
Brands which spent more than £3m on sponsorship at this year's event will also receive accreditation for their executives to attend the talks and mingle with government officials. The so-called Industry Partner package, which offers companies"an unparalleled opportunity to become a vital part of this important event for leading names in respective industries" and costs £3.2m, comes with five passes to the event.
Meanwhile, the Principal Partner package, which costs more than £6m, offers 25 UN-accredited passes for company executives to attend the talks.
