G20 Scorecard of Fossil Fuel Funding: United Kingdom
Report
International Institute for Sustainable Development
PART 2 The Purposeful Investment Landscape
Exploring the Landscape
Provides a detailed analysis of the United Kingdom's fossil fuel funding, highlighting its lack of transparency and continued support, which is crucial information for investors assessing the country's commitment to sustainable energy practices.

This International Institute for Sustainable Development report, “G20 Scorecard of Fossil Fuel Funding: United Kingdom,” is included because it documents the UK’s continued and significant support for fossil fuels—highlighting a poor G20 OECD ranking, lack of transparency, foregone tax revenue, and a marked increase in UK Export Finance (UKEF) fossil‑fuel support despite official denials—and therefore provides concrete evidence of the policy, regulatory, and systemic obstacles investors face; it is placed in Part 2, The Purposeful Investment Landscape (Chapter: Exploring the Landscape), to help readers understand how government finance and policy can hinder or shape efforts to align capital with sustainable objectives.
