Carbon Tracker is a team of financial, energy and legal experts with a ground breaking approach to limiting future greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon Tracker is a non-profit, independent organisation, free from the commercial constraints of mainstream analysts and able to set their own research agenda with the aim of raising awareness among key decision makers about the risks that fossil fuel investments pose to financial stability.
Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said: “Governments have agreed to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius. Governments have also agreed to put in place the pathways to deliver this with a new and universal agreement in Paris towards the end of 2015. In order to reach this goal, large amounts of coal and oil will have to stay in the ground, unburnt. Carbon Tracker’s new [oil and coal cost] ‘Curves’ report indicates where in respect to the oil industry some of those stranded assets and some of those red lines will lie.”
