Our Work

By combining a political platform with practical support, BOGA is built to support ambition and action. The Alliance elevates the issue of a managed phase out of oil and gas in international dialogues and policy processes, while working to establish the enabling conditions for a just, orderly and equitable transition, in three strategic areas.

Diplomatic leadership

Acting on the facts

Recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Energy Agency, and the UN Environment Programme have made it clear that significant reductions in coal, oil and natural (fossil) gas will be required to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Sixth Assessment summarises the state of knowledge on climate science, on climate impacts and adaptation, and on the mitigation of climate change.

The IEA Net Zero Roadmap, first presented in 2021, sets out a pathway for the global energy sector to contribute to the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.

The UN Production Gap Report, first launched in 2019, tracks the discrepancy between governments’ plans and Paris Agreement goals. The 2023 edition projects 31% more oil and 92% more gas than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
