Oil Change International publishes upwards of 20 reports and briefings every year focused on supporting the movement for a just phase-out of fossil fuels.
The UP FOR GRABS factsheet shows exactly how the United Kingdom can raise the public funds needed to pay for a fair and orderly transition of North Sea oil and gas workers as part of the green energy transition. The government could mobilise GBP 6.7 billion per year through a series of readily available measures that could fund an emergency package of support for North Sea workers.
Oil Change International provided input to support the U.N. Special Rapporteur in assessing the impact of public finance within the current international legal framework governing the fossil fuel-based economy.
New report explores the attitudes of Norwegian voters on oil and gas issues before the upcoming September election. The survey reveals that Labour Party voters place a higher priority on reducing Norway’s climate emissions and transitioning away from oil and gas towards renewable energy, compared to the national average.
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.
Big oil and gas companies’ voluntary “Decarbonization Charter,” launched at COP28, is a dangerous distraction from the urgent need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels. New data shows Charter members have approved massive oil and gas expansion plans since signing on.
There is no shortage of public money available for rich countries to pay their fair share on fair terms for climate action at home and abroad. They can mobilize over USD 5.3 trillion per year for the new climate finance target at COP29, international development needs, ensuring fair fossil fuel phase out in their NDCs, and other public goods.
Despite the abundant evidence of carbon capture and fossil hydrogen's failures, the US subsidizes them to the tune of $12 billion - more than any other country.
New research shows COP Troika nations - Brazil, UAE, and Azerbaijan - plan to expand oil and gas production 32% by 2035, endangering the 1.5°C climate limit their role as COP presidencies is meant to champion. Limiting warming to 1.5°C, a key objective the COP Troika has committed to defend, requires countries to immediately end fossil fuel expansion.
For the first time, this comprehensive briefing brings together evidence to demonstrate that Norway's plans for blue hydrogen are unrealistic and economically unsound.
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. Rich countries can mobilize well over $5 trillion a year for climate action at home and abroad by ending fossil fuel handouts, making big polluters pay, and changing unfair global financial rules.
