“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.

Le rapport révèle comment le géant pétrolier français TotalEnergies, premier importateur de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) en Europe, s'approvisionne à 71% auprès des États-Unis et de la Russie. Les dirigeants des deux pays ayant menacé ou attaqué l'Europe, dépendre de leurs ressources énergétiques pose un risque sécuritaire. Pour atteindre ses objectifs de sécurité, de coûts de l’énergie et de climat, l’Europe doit sortir des énergies fossiles de façon juste, accélérer les efforts d’efficacité énergétique et passer aux énergies renouvelables.

Total has imported three times as much LNG to Europe than any other company in recent years, and most of that LNG comes from the US and Russia. Europe’s best path to achieving security, affordability, and climate goals is to equitably phase out fossil fuels, accelerate energy efficiency, and transition to renewable energy.
