About
The Fossil Fuel Cuts Database was created in 2018 by Philippe Le Billon and Nicolas Gaulin from the Department of Geography of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
The Database is regularly updated, continuously expanding both the geographical and temporal scope of recorded fossil fuel cuts. It is our hope that the database will motivate academic research and advocacy seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
