The Arctic Ocean is the last frontier for international oil companies, with rapid reductions in ice cover (due to climate change from the combustion of fossil fuels) making the exploitation of newly discovered offshore resources possible, at least theoretically. Royal Dutch Shell’s (Shell) proposed drilling programme in Alaska this year is seen as leading the charge into Arctic exploration by major oil companies.

Getting to market: emerging investor risks in the tar sands

International oil companies continue to rely on Canadian tar sands for future growth. Tar sands extraction projects are again expanding and the industry ambition is to grow production from today’s level 37 per cent by 2015 and an extraordinary 138 per cent by 2025. Significant risks however still face the industry. Major environmental constraints remain - particularly greenhouse gas emissions and water use - as well more conventional challenges, including labour, equipment and service cost inflation in the region.

From our China team: how to lose a foot on fieldwork

Posted by Louise Edge — 14 July 2011 at 10:52am - Comments

Zhong Yu has worked for Greenpeace in China for over seven years and has witnessed some of the most devastating environmental disasters there from rapid glacier retreat on the Himalayas, the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to last summer’s devastating Dalian oil spill. Here, she writes about the undercover research behind our latest report, which exposes the terrible impact that China’s growing textile industry is having on the country’s rivers.
