Urgewald
Coal kills—especially by polluting urban air, and especially in poorer countries. Yet investors still fund hundreds of dirty energy projects. Interrupting the financial flow is crucial, but first you have to know exactly who's involved.

The Mission
Stop dirty energy.
How It Works
Urgewald tracks and publishes the world’s most comprehensive dataset on fossil fuel finance. They help NGOs in Africa and South Asia use this research to block dirty projects, and they work with financial institutions to identify problematic investments and align with internal and regulatory policies.
The Dream
A global financial system that no longer funds new coal, oil, or gas projects—cutting off capital for fossil fuels and speeding the shift to clean energy.
Why We're In
Urgewald is perhaps the most important organization focused on fossil fuel finance. They've created powerful tools that European regulators now depend on to enforce financial policies and expose greenwashing. They have smart plans to train more local campaigners to use finance data, keep investors engaged, and influence lagging financial centers.
