What do Tony Blair, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, and one-time Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger all have in common? The answer: a British
lobbying group.


The trio can all be linked via an influential London-based organisation called The Climate Group, which was set up in 2004.

According to its website, the non-profit group was established to “kickstart a new dialogue around climate change and mobilise cross sector support for industrial and political action to cut global
emissions of greenhouse gases.”

Its growing membership includes well-known companies such as BP, Marks & Spencer, HSBC, BSkyB, Tesco, Virgin and Nike.

Small states and governments are also signed up, including Catalonia, Chicago, the Greater London Authority, Western Australia, Ontario and Quebec.

Scotland became the latest member on the Climate Group’s list after the Scottish National Party joined up last month (Nov 2009).

But how are Blair, Deripaska and Schwarzenegger involved and linked through the group?

In 2008, Tony Blair launched a new initiative called Breaking the Climate Deadlock, for which The Climate Group provided “strategic international support”. Blair and The Climate Group now have a strong
partnership.

However, the former prime minister had been supporting Climate Group initiatives long before his official partnership was unveiled last year, including an event in July 2006 when he shared a stage in LA with
California governor Schwarzenegger, whom the group hoped would be making
an appearance at one of its events in Copenhagen this month.

Steve Howard, chief executive of The Climate Group, said at the time: “We have convened the roundtable so that Prime Minister Blair and Governor Schwarzenegger can discuss practical ideas with business
leaders.”

Schwarzenegger’s state of California is one of the group’s members.

Oleg Deripaska, the billionaire who infamously hosted shadow chancellor George Osborne on his yacht in 2008 and has also had meetings with Lord Mandelson, has a less pronounced link than Blair and
Schwarzenegger.

But it turns out Blair’s Breaking the Climate Deadlock report submitted to the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit in June 2008 – partnered by The Climate Group – was given “additional financial support” by Oleg
Deripaska, in his capacity as chairman of Basic Element, an investment
company set up in 1997.

The Russian is understood to be worth around £15bn.

Deripaska praised Blair in the accompanying press release, which did not mention he had helped to pay for the aforementioned report: “This report is unquestionably a very important contribution Tony Blair is
making to the post-Kyoto discussions.”
