Urgewald
Coal kills—yet investors still fund hundreds of coal and other dirty energy projects every year, especially in rapidly growing developing countries. Interrupting the financial flow is crucial, but first you have to know exactly who's involved.

The Mission
Reduce emissions and harm from dirty industries.
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 one of the most important keystones in climate finance. They've created powerful tools that NGOs and regulators now depend on. Further scaling depends on training more local campaigners, keeping funders engaged, and influencing lagging financial centers.
