    Organizational structure: We have two co-directors and several volunteer researchers and interns in several countries. We are a network of energy specialists and innovators who value 'crowd-sourcing'as a problem-solving methodology. We foster coordinated research and action to promote climate solutions that are equitable and sustainable.
    Number and type of members: The International Oil Working Group brings together dozens of scholars and practitioners from some 14 countries. The Network is constantly expanding, driven in part by the expansion of concern to address climate change.
    Affiliation with NGO networks: The International Oil Working Group has cooperative relations with many environmental, energy and gender organizations and networks concerned with climate change.
    Funding structure:
  • Other sources
  • Grants from Governments
  • Funding structure other: The International Oil Working Group is self-financed from member contributions. Most activities are fueled by volunteer research and labour.
