The endless pursuit of economic growth, coupled with the decline in
conventional energy sources, is driving ever more extreme forms of
energy extraction around the world, with ecologically and socially
disastrous consequences.

>From the dangers of fracking to the devastating effects of tar sands
extraction, this guide brings together everything you need to know
about unconventional fossil fuels in one place for the first time. It
gives an in-depth yet accessible analysis of their social and
environmental effects, and includes information on where they are
found, the companies trying to profit from them and the growing
resistance movements against them. The report also contains a unique
'carbon budget' climate change assessment of unconventional fossil
fuel production, and stand-alone factsheets on each of the types of
unconventional fossil fuel.

We want to spread the research far and wide, to get it used by as many
people as possible. Please get in touch if you can help, particularly
with:

-publicising the report on your website, mailing lists or social media.

-distributing it among your contacts/networks

-contacts for other relevant local, national or international groups

-translations

Also lease let us know if you would like CW to run a workshop for you
or you have any questions about the report.
