This is based on documents that were leaked to Unearthed and their report is here [1].
Unfortunately, I don't think they have released the documents publicly. Given that there were "tens of thousands of comments by governments, corporations, academics and others", there is significant editorialization to produce these journalistic reports.
These reports identify "Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and OPEC" as the ones watering down the report, and linking this with their economic interests. However, plenty of other countries have economic interests as well, that are contrary to efforts to slow down climate change. Was the US beef industry not putting pressure as well? The Chinese coal industry? The German automobile industry?
I would really like to see the leaked documents to get the complete picture.
