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.
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.
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.
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.
