Updated analysis reveals oil industry climate plans are grossly insufficient to achieve Paris Climate Goals
The report finds the oil and gas majors are involved in over 200 expansion projects on track for approval from 2022 through 2025.

Vote for Shell in Corporate Accountability’s “Hall of Shame” Ballot
We ask you to vote for Shell in Corporate Accountability’s Hall of Shame for denying justice in Nigeria for a generation and for delaying action on climate change.
It’s time to imagine a future without Shell
So can a company often vilified for being complicit in human rights abuses in Nigeria, accused of rampant pollution and ignoring the risks of climate change for decades, be central to the climate fight?
ExxonMobil’s climate plans are still “grossly insufficient”
Last year, we rated ExxonMobil as “grossly insufficient” on all ten of the criteria. There are tiny steps forward in the new announcement, but nothing that changes any of our ten metrics from “grossly insufficient” to “insufficient,” let alone to even “partial alignment.”
