Following the Money Pipeline

In this lecture, Johanna Frühwald will explore the critical intersection of finance, fossil fuels, and climate action by giving insights into the work of the German environmental and human rights NGO, Urgewald. Founded in 1992, Urgewald has become a global leader in tracking the financial flows that support destructive industries and advocating for transformative change. The presentation will spotlight Urgewald’s pioneering data-driven campaigns, including the development of the Global Coal Exit List (GCEL) and Global Oil & Gas Exit List (GOGEL)—the most comprehensive publicly accessible databases on the fossil fuel industry. These tools are used by hundreds of financial institutions to shape investment decisions and policies. Moreover, insights from a current campaign in collaboration with the Filipino organization Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development (CEED), targeting the massive expansion of gas infrastructure in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, will be shared.
