This report, produced by Carbon Tracker, Principles for Responsible Investment
(UN PRI) and leading institutional investors, is the first to rank 69 of the biggest
oil and gas industry companies according to the extent of their exposure to the
low-carbon transition. It provides a way of understanding whether the supply
options of the largest publicly traded oil and gas producers are aligned with
demand levels consistent with a 2˚C carbon budget, and will equip investors
with the authoritative information they need to challenge companies on their
investment strategy and approach to climate risk.
It finds that across the oil and gas industry $2.3 trillion of upstream projects –
roughly a third of business as usual projects to 2025 – are inconsistent with global
commitments to limit climate change to a maximum 2˚C and rapid advances in
clean technologies.
The study offers a sophisticated tool to investors to align their capital allocation
decisions with the company’s exposure to climate risks.
