Countries phasing out oil extraction

The paper reviews 15 criteria used in literature to determine the sequencing of a global oil extraction phase-out, arguing that the choice of criteria significantly alters which countries phase out first and that current gaps in these indicators risk undermining just transition goals.

• The order in which countries phase out oil extraction varies based on the chosen criteria, and relying on individual criteria can result in poor outcomes.
• There is a lack of comprehensive criteria and indicators to ensure a global phase-out aligns with a just transition, which prevents holistic assessments and informed decision-making.
• Using an incomplete set of indicators for a phase-out risks harming the just transition, specifically in relation to procedural justice and development needs.
