At Oil Change International we work to expose the true costs of fossil fuels and facilitate a just transition to clean energy. Join us.
Senators announced a bipartisan bill to deregulate federal infrastructure permitting. Some Democrats framed the deal as good for clean energy, citing provisions that could speed up permitting for transmission lines and grid connections for renewable energy. But the bill would more likely support an unprecedented buildout of gas power plants linked to the AI data center boom.
Fossil fuel dependence drives deadly climate impacts, higher energy costs, economic instability, and conflict. As the Trump administration doubles down on fossil fuel expansion in the United States and abroad, other governments must offer a different path. Publicly led national roadmaps can deliver a fair, fast, and funded fossil fuel phaseout to protect workers and communities, strengthen economies, and build energy sovereignty.
The world’s five largest international oil companies (IOCs) and five largest U.S. independent refiners made over US$65 billion in profits in the second quarter of 2026 as conflicts in the Persian Gulf and Ukraine spiked oil prices and caused refined fuel supply constraints. As thousands die in the relentless bombardments of drones and ballistic missiles, the oil and gas industry reaps windfall profits in a year that was looking to be a loser before the bombs started falling.
“Their leadership stands in stark contrast to major Global North fossil fuel producers who fight wars over oil and gas and plan to flood the world with more fossil fuels at a time of already catastrophic climate impacts, while failing to deliver climate finance at a level that meets needs."
Changing international financial rules as well as integrating regional and domestic reforms could unlock $367 billion in public finance annually.
Japan is backing U.S. gas expansion that could leave households and businesses across Asia paying more for energy over the next decade.
This briefing examines the structural barriers that constrain finance for Africa’s just energy transition, including high borrowing costs, debt pressures, unequal access to international public finance, limitations in blended finance, and global tax and financial rules that continue to constrain African economies.
The European Union is becoming increasingly reliant on U.S. liquefied natural gas even as U.S. fossil gas gets more expensive.
Asia is central to plans for a massive expansion of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG), but greater dependence on U.S. fossil gas will come at a cost.
We work to advance and expand government policies to end fossil fuel production while also shifting public finance and subsidies away from fossil fuels and into a just energy transition.
The fossil fuel industry thrives on misinformation — we work to combat that misinformation, strengthen the case against false solutions, and support movement and partner coordination pushing back against oil and gas companies.
The fight for a just transition relies on strong partnerships, networks, and geographically rooted work challenging fossil fuels projects. We work to support the goals of frontline partners and help stop fossil fuel projects from being built.
since the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni 9 who were murdered by the Nigerian military for their campaign against Shell in Nigeria
that communities have been fighting for justice against Shell, which is trying to avoid both cleaning and paying up by selling their operations in the Niger Delta
Big Oil is making a killing off Trump and Israel’s war in Iran while everyday people pay the price. As people lose their lives, oil prices are going through the roof. Working families struggle to afford gas and electricity while Big Oil rakes in massive profits. No one should be making billions off war, suffering, and environmental destruction.
We send emails roughly weekly, focusing on critical online actions, exploring new research, and breaking down the latest news in the climate movement.
