The investments of the world’s 125 wealthiest billionaires generate approximately 393,000,000 tonnes of CO₂e annually. | The average portfolio of a single billionaire in this group generates approximately 3,144,000 tonnes of CO₂e annually. |
SYSTEMIC CLIMATE ACTION
The system protects the biggest emitters. Climate and society bear the cost.
World 3.0 is an independent non-profit organization analyzing gaps in global climate regulations. We identify areas that remain beyond effective legal control, measure the true impact of the largest emitters, and develop concrete proposals for legislative change. Our analyses are grounded in scientific data and direct consultations with international experts.

The public is expected to conserve energy, face higher costs, and make personal sacrifices in the name of climate responsibility. At the same time, major emitters continue to exploit exemptions, tax breaks, and legal loopholes shaped by lobbying and political influence. The result? The financial burden of the green transition is shifted onto ordinary people—hitting them through energy bills, product prices, and daily expenses—while the most carbon-intensive sectors continue to evade full accountability.
World 3.0 was established to expose, quantify, and publicize these mechanisms. We operate without funding from the industries we analyze. Free from conflicts of interest. Untouched by lobbyists. Because a truly fair system must begin by holding the biggest polluters accountable—not by offloading the costs onto society.
Climate regulations don’t fail by accident. They are crafted within a system compromised by conflicts of interest.
World 3.0 identifies the legislative process within high-emission sectors as the root cause of climate paralysis. Regulatory failures in areas such as fast fashion, energy, and luxury goods do not stem from technical oversight, but rather from the systemic distortion of expert knowledge by corporate lobbying.
If the advisory sources relied upon by EU institutions are compromised by conflicts of interest, any resulting regulation is inherently flawed—the fruit of a poisonous tree. The legislative process must be anchored in independent scientific knowledge as the basis for decision-making, rather than the opaque influence of the entities subject to those very regulations.
That is why our top priority is to overhaul the architecture of lawmaking by implementing three systemic mechanisms:
- Mechanism 1 — Conflict of Interest Verification. A mandatory, public registry of expert funding (covering at least the preceding 5 years)
- Mechanism 2 — Legislative Footprint A transparent record of the lawmaking process, revealing stakeholder influence and every attempt to weaken regulation
- Mechanism 3 — Revolving Door Ban Excluding individuals with direct ties to the regulated sectors from the legislative process
This is our overriding systemic priority. Its implementation may require a lengthy institutional process; however, this does not halt the analytical work conducted by World 3.0 within high-emission sectors. On the contrary—we view these analyses as a parallel tool for identifying legal loopholes, documenting the influence of interest groups, and building pressure to overhaul the legislative architecture.
Lobbying vs. Cost of Climate Regulations
Select a sector to see how much the industry spends annually on lobbying in the EU and how much it would actually cost to implement climate regulations.
The aviation sector is partially exempt from the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) for intra-EU flights, while intercontinental flights remain outside the scope of CORSIA until 2027. Lobbyists have effectively delayed the expansion of regulations.
