Significant events

• “2024 was the year the facade cracked. The world's biggest polluters dropped the pretence and increased their extraction of oil and gas.”
• “2024 also saw the unmasking of governments that have hijacked the mantle of climate leadership to profit from planetary breakdown.”
• “In November, on the eve of COP29, we released the findings of our undercover investigation. These showed the CEO of the COP presidency team offering, on camera, to help facilitate oil and gas deals on the sidelines of the negotiations.”
• “As part of the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition, we found that at least 1,773 were granted access to COP29.”
• “A report we released last September revealed 196 killings of defenders in 2023 alone. Over 1,500 people have lost their lives since the 2015 Paris Agreement.”
• “In June 2024, the EU passed a new law to help speed up the phase-out of fossil gas across Europe. This was the direct result of a campaign that was started and led by Global Witness.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
