Fossil fuels are the primary driver of the climate crisis, responsible for the majority of global greenhouse gas emissions. Phasing out fossil fuels is the most important step the world can take to limit warming and protect communities. For years, scientists, civil society and impacted countries and communities promoted action on fossil fuels, yet it hasremained marginalised from multilateral discussions. That is beginning to change.

This briefing assesses whether the EU Methane Regulation could undermine the EU’s security of supply and competitiveness. The available evidence does not support claims that methane standards threaten European energy supply. The EU remains a highly attractive export destination for oil and gas. Where supply risks exist, they are driven primarily by geopolitics, infrastructure constraints […]

A new model for implementation. Climate change demands urgent action on multiple fronts and tackling super pollutants is among the most powerful levers available. Super pollutants – methane, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – are responsible for up to 45 per cent of current warming. Many are also short-lived climate pollutants […]

This document outlines systemic issues with carbon offsetting, and with the generation, sale and use of carbon credits, before discussing in greater detail EIA UK’s stance on the most prominent carbon trading mechanisms: Voluntary Carbon Markets, Emissions Trading Schemes and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The Montreal Protocol has achieved remarkable success in controlling the production and use of controlled ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but unmanaged ‘banks’ of these substances in equipment and stockpiles threaten its legacy.

Closing the Gap on Super Pollutants sets out urgent priorities for UK climate policy, showing how cutting methane, F‑gases and nitrous oxide can deliver rapid climate and health benefits.
