Big Oil in Court: The latest trends in climate litigation against fossil fuel companies

The first in-depth analysis on the escalating wave of climate litigation aimed at fossil fuel companies reveals 86 climate lawsuits have been filed against the world’s largest oil, gas, and coal producing corporations – including BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies. The number of cases filed against fossil fuel companies each year has nearly tripled since the Paris Agreement was reached in 2015, highlighting a growing global movement to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for their role in the climate crisis.

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.
What we do

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.

What we do

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.

What we do

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.

Data Deep Dive

The Fossil Math

Fossil fuel companies have already greenlit enough fossil fuel extraction to overheat the planet. For a livable climate, governments must: stop new oil, gas, and coal; manage a fast and fair phase-out of all fossil fuels; and fully fund a just renewable energy transition.
  • By the numbers:

  • 51 %

    Of planned expansion by 5 countries

    The majority of global oil and gas expansion from 2023 through 2050 is threatened by just five Global North countries: the United States, Canada, Australia, Norway, and the UK.

  • 1.4  times

    More money for fossil fuels than clean

    G20 governments and development banks poured 1.4 times more public money into fossil fuels than clean energy with their international finance from 2020 to 2022.

Tell OECD countries to stop propping up the oil and gas industry with public money

Governments who are part of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) group of wealthy countries have an opportunity to start shifting USD $41 billion per year of public finance out of fossil fuels and into clean energy. We need these OECD countries to rewrite the rules to end export finance for new oil and gas projects.
