The Coalition for Energy Governance aims to maximize the potential of civil society actors to uphold transparency and good governance in the nascent oil and gas sector. This year, we will view all of our work through an environmental lens. As the extractive industry expands, we will work to mitigate its harmful effects on coastal and marine ecosystems.
