UN Climate Talks in Germany Highlights

Oil Change International, founded in 2005, is a Research, Communication, and Advocacy organization focused on exposing the true costs of Fossil Fuels, Combating Global Warming, and facilitating the coming Transition towards Clean Energy. They want to Expose and Counter the Influence of Fossil Fuel Money in Politics, work toward a Separation of Oil and State, and follow the Money Flows to and from the Industry

Tackling Fossil Fuels has not always been a large part of these UN Climate Conferences. In fact, the Paris Agreement itself doesn’t even mention the words “Fossil Fuels” a single time. But the Team has worked hard for years, doing their best to support those on the Front-Lines of the Climate Fight and thrust the Collective need to embark swiftly on a Managed Decline of the Fossil Fuel Industry into the Center of the Debate. And it’s Working.

They have long been among the few Voices calling out Fossil Fuels at the Climate Negotiations. Now they are part of a Growing Global chorus standing up against the Industry and making it clear that Climate Leadership means keeping Fossil Fuels in the Ground.

Here’s just a sample of what they did at the Negotiations:

- Met with Governments from around the world about leaving Fossil Fuels in the Ground, and Re-Launched the Lofoten Declaration with hundreds of Signatories from around the World including the former President of Kiribati.

- Released a New Report on why Germany must Phase-Out Coal with a just Transition in the Next Ten Years, and End its Fossil Fuel Finance.

- Released a New Briefing showing how Gas is NOT a Bridge Fuel, and why the International Energy Agency’s Projections for a Gas-filled Future are Wrong and Dangerous.

- Had a Stop Funding Fossils Day of Action, reaching Millions and pushing the World Bank to Stop Financing Exploration for New Fossil Fuels.

Their Work at the UN Negotiations is critical in influencing the Global Debate on Climate Action. They're putting out Cutting-Edge Analysis to make the Case that it's time to Stop using Public Resources to Prop-Up the Fossil Fuel Industry, and that it's imperative we keep Fossil Fuels in the Ground. People around the world are taking Notice.
