86 climate lawsuits have been filed against the world’s largest oil, gas, and coal producing corporations, with two in five cases involving claims for compensation for climate change damages linked to fossil fuels.

"No matter how much the United States invests in renewable energy, any additional export infrastructure will undermine domestic and international efforts to prevent climate catastrophe.

Our response to the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 moving out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Negotiators must be laser focused in Baku this week. They must deliver a new grant-based climate finance target in the trillions at COP29, ensuring rich countries pay up for global climate action. They must also secure national climate plans that phase out fossil fuels.
Don’t be fooled: the Energy Permitting Reform Act is another dirty deal to fast-track fossil fuels above all else. It would unleash more drilling on federal lands and waters, unnecessarily rush the review of proposed oil and gas export projects, and lift the Biden administration’s pause on new LNG exports.
Altérra has funneled money through secondary sub-funds managed by Blackrock into building fossil fuel pipelines and gas projects. This includes TC Pipelines, a subsidiary of the company behind Coastal Gaslink and failed Keystone XL pipeline proposals.
"A $1 billion voluntary climate fund that gives polluters decision-making powers is greenwashing. There is momentum to make polluters and the super-rich pay up for the trillions needed for climate action. Inviting fossil fuel interests to play-act as climate champions is a waste of time."
