It’s worth saying again: this data proves that fossil fuel firms are actively sabotaging climate action and weakening government ambition.
A fossil fuel treaty is not merely an option, but the indispensable mechanism to hold these giants accountable.

Top polluters controlled by nations that blocked fossil fuel phaseout
Many state-owned fossil fuel firms that emitted the highest levels of pollution in 2024 went on to block a phaseout roadmap at COP30.

The new #CarbonMajors report exposes the real political barriers to fossil fuel phase out. These polluters are powerful and persistent, not to mention profitable.
And their emissions are the cause of the deadly heat waves, floods, fires, and storms that kill thousands every year

I'm delighted to endorse Avi for NDP leader.
He is smart, principled, and a force of nature. His commitment to building power for progressives in Canada is critical to strengthen the NDP.
Avi's vision for a safer, cleaner and more just Canada couldn't come at a more important moment in history.

I'm honoured to have the support of six amazing climate leaders from across the country and around the world.
Climate impacts are stealing lives, costing billions, and only getting more intense.
Our politics needs an injection of urgency: a climate emergency plan. A Green New Deal.

“In Dubai in 2023, Canada, the UK, and 190 countries agreed for the first time to transition away from fossil fuels. You do not ‘phase out’ something by building more of it. A pipeline enabling 1m additional barrels a day pushes Canada in the opposite direction of what it has already promised.”
Mark Carney built a reputation on linking economic instability with climate inaction. Now he’s made a deal with the very industries driving the crisis.
