It makes perfect sense from coca cola's perspective to sponsor a climate conference, what makes no sense at all and what I think GP is getting at is that it's completely insane from the climate conference's perspective to be sponsored by coca cola.

(And please spare me the cynical explanation of why it does make sense from a cynical climate conference's perspective.)

Is it wrong for a climate conference to take money from big corporations at all?

Conflict of interest when corporations like Coca Cola engage in massive green-washing campaigns

What if they're an average company environmentally, with no green-washing?

Less concerning, though corporations are by nature usually self-interested and motivated solely by profit.
