New data shows Four Global North Countries Derailing Oil and Gas Phase-out Since Paris Agreement

Recent findings from Oil Change International highlight that only four countries from the Global North bear significant responsibility for hindering progress on the oil and gas phase-out promised in the Paris Agreement. This revelation underscores a critical issue, as these nations are disproportionately affecting global climate change mitigation efforts. Despite the commitments made in the Paris Agreement to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, these countries continue to support extensive oil and gas operations, thus undermining international climate goals. The report draws attention to the necessity of holding these countries accountable to drive meaningful environmental progress. As global leaders prepare for the upcoming climate summit, high-impact stakeholders are urging decisive action to curb these nations’ fossil fuel dependency. Moving forward, reinforcing global cooperation and ensuring these countries honor their commitments is paramount to achieving a sustainable energy transition.
