Our focus areas
Anticorruption & accountability
Addressing extractive-sector corruption is crucial for citizens in resource-rich countries and for the attainment of global climate goals.
Fossil fuel transition
Fossil fuels are not the future, but many countries lack concrete pathways beyond the production of oil, gas and coal.
Just energy transition
As the global energy transition accelerates, decisionmakers must ensure that it is just, inclusive and equitable—with people’s needs at its center.
State-owned enterprises
State-owned companies are critical but sometimes overlooked players in the energy transition and in oil, gas and mining governance.
Taxation & revenue management
Effective revenue management, strong tax frameworks, transparency and citizen participation are hallmarks of accountable extractive-sector governance.
Transition minerals
Transition minerals are crucial for climate action. Their extraction must benefit citizens in the places where they are mined.
