Oil Change International response to IEA Ministerial communique

“Today's commitment to make a finance roadmap to limit warming to 1.5°C and ensure a just energy transition is a welcome step, but in order to be useful, the IEA's new research must continue with strong recommendations to immediately halt finance flowing to fossil fuels, and start recommending dramatically increased public finance on fair terms for renewable energy and energy efficiency."

Senator Markey, Colleagues Urge FTC to Crack Down on Deceptive “Certified” Gas Claims

Response to UK Labour Party announcement scaling back its £28 billion climate pledge

The Labour Party must uphold their pledge to take serious action on climate change.

Climate Activists Disrupt Senate LNG Hearing

(Washington, DC) – Over a dozen climate activists were arrested at the Capitol today after disrupting the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s hearing examining the Biden administration's pause on approvals for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals.

Response to Biden administration pause on pending LNG export applications

The tide is turning. President Biden pausing pending liquefied natural gas (LNG) export applications is a huge win for people and planet. Following the commitment at the COP28 climate talks to phase out fossil fuels, this is one of the most significant actions ever taken by a U.S. president to stop the dangerous expansion of fossil fuels and protect environmental justice. The momentum for a renewable energy future is undeniable.

Response to COP29 Organising Committee:

The climate movement demands a process free of fossil influence, including real conflict-of-interest policies to keep fossil interests from co-opting the talks and social pressure to block the oil, gas, and coal industries from leading the energy transition.
