COP29 Dispatch: A $300 Billion Smokescreen
COP29 concluded this past weekend with a deeply flawed agreement on climate finance that plans for fossil fuel phaseout failure and has been carefully crafted by rich countries to dodge their responsibilities to pay the climate debt they owe to the Global South.
“Movements for Justice Don’t Back Down”: Oil Change and Standing Rock Grassroots Response to Verdict in Energy Transfer Lawsuit
This verdict is the result of a flawed trial and Big Oil’s anti-democratic efforts to crush dissent against its dangerous, polluting projects.

Shifting And Unlocking Trillions For A Just Energy Transition At COP29
Last year at COP28, governments committed to transition away from fossil fuels. The next key step to make good on this landmark energy agreement is rich countries agreeing to a new climate finance goal of at least $1 trillion annually to make this possible. This will allow countries to deliver national climate plans (NDCs) due in 2025 that phase out fossil fuels.

What we do
At Oil Change International, we create the conditions necessary for a just and equitable fossil-free world through our work to support movements, stop fossil fuel projects, and hold governments and institutions accountable for rapidly phasing out oil, gas, and coal.
Transform the institutional landscape to enable just phase-out policies
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.
Challenge the fossil fuel industry and its enablers
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.
Support frontline campaigns to stop fossil fuel projects
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.
Data Deep Dive
The Fossil Math
Fossil fuel companies have already greenlit enough fossil fuel extraction to overheat the planet. For a livable climate, governments must: stop new oil, gas, and coal; manage a fast and fair phase-out of all fossil fuels; and fully fund a just renewable energy transition.

1.4 times
More money for fossil fuels than clean
G20 governments and development banks poured 1.4 times more public money into fossil fuels than clean energy with their international finance from 2020 to 2022.

Tell OECD countries to stop propping up the oil and gas industry with public money
Governments who are part of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) group of wealthy countries have an opportunity to start shifting USD $41 billion per year of public finance out of fossil fuels and into clean energy. We need these OECD countries to rewrite the rules to end export finance for new oil and gas projects.
