“Our Land, Our Law”: First Nation Leaders Demand Accountability for Human Rights Violations Fueled by Japan-Funded LNG Canada Project

Wet’suwet’en First Nation hereditary leaders filed a formal complaint against the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) for financing LNG Canada, a massive fossil gas project that depends on a pipeline built without their consent, on their unceded land. Despite these violations, the project was completed and recently began commercial operation. 

DRC in Flames, Big Oil in Fortune

Congo's vital rainforest and peatlands are to face destruction from 52 new oil blocks. This plunder is likely to fuel conflict and displacement, enriching Big Oil Companies and complicit leaders. The DRC cannot be a sacrifice zone. We need to protect this lifeline.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Norway’s most important climate measure or another Mongstad disaster?

Longship, Norway's flagship investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS), will be formally launched on 17th and 18th June 2025. Langskip and Northern Lights are described by the government as Norway's most important climate measures, but the truth is rather different.

New report: UK taxpayer backing for Mozambique gas project would be ‘Total Disaster’

The UK government decision on financing disastrous TotalEnergies-led project is believed to be imminent. The project needs UK financing to go ahead, but the project is mired in allegations of human rights abuses, corruption allegations and the linked death of a UK citizen.

New Analysis of Five Major U.S. LNG Export Projects Finds Every One Fails the “Climate Test” 

“Failing the ‘Climate Test’: LNG Projects Awaiting Final Investment Decision Do Not Stand Up to U.S. Government Analysis” shows that U.S. LNG export projects displace renewable energy and drive up emissions – making them incompatible with a liveable climate. 

Total Disaster: Will the UK government use taxpayer finance to enable a human rights nightmare abroad?

Keir Starmer has inherited a controversial decision from Boris Johnson’s government. The UK Prime Minister must decide whether USD $1.5 billion of UK taxpayer support should be used to enable one of the most controversial infrastructure projects of modern times: The Mozambique Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project.

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.
What we do

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.

What we do

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.

What we do

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.
  • By the numbers:

  • 51 %

    Of planned expansion by 5 countries

    The majority of global oil and gas expansion from 2023 through 2050 is threatened by just five Global North countries: the United States, Canada, Australia, Norway, and the UK.

  • 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.
