Urgewald is a group that researches coal companies, [1] [2] [3] [4] because they are among the top contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and so cause climate change. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The Global Coal Exit List, which they publish, is famous. [10]

Contents

Urgewald provided analysis to underpin a Guardian newspaper exposé on the "scores of vast projects" that the oil and gas majors are planning as of May 2022. If only a fraction of these projects proceed to exploitation, the consequences for the global climate will still be huge. [11]
