The Global Gas and Oil Network (GGON) is an international non-profit network of civil society organisations established to support global efforts to stop fossil fuel expansion and catalyse a just and equitable global phaseout of production in line with the internationally agreed climate target to keep global warming below 1.5°C. This must be achieved through a just transition, at an equitable pace for all countries, in a way that centres the needs of people, communities and biodiversity. Since its creation in 2017, the network has steadily grown to over 300 organisations across more than 60 countries on six continents.
GGON provides movement infrastructure for this diverse group of members and partners through a variety of approaches, including convening critical conversations and strategy discussions, commissioning research and analysis, and providing communications tools and training. Where we are invited to, we provide coordination support to a number of national and regional coalitions and directly coordinate issue-specific thematic global working groups, one of which is focused on National Oil Companies (NOCs). GGON operates with a lean secretariat, which is a fully virtual team based in several continents across multiple time zones.
