Seeking Climate Justice: Civil Society’s Crucial Role from Courtrooms to Communities

The climate movement is turning to courts to hold corporations and governments accountable for their role in causing the climate crisis.

With courts becoming vital battlegrounds, civil society organizations (CSOs) play a key role, pushing legal cases forward and ensuring public engagement in the critical climate debate. 

New Research: UAE, Azerbaijan, and Brazil Undermine Climate Leadership with Massive Fossil Fuel Plans

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.

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.
