Good personal and public health are pillars of well-being. Every stage of our energy system impacts health, with disproportionate effects on the socially vulnerable. Climate change worsens many of those impacts and creates an entirely new set of health challenges.

Oil spills: when, where, how big?

Oil spills have been a persistent problem since the start of the oil industry. Millions of wells and trillions of barrels of oil extracted have resulted in significant environmental impact. Accidents in the complex supply chain release toxic crude and refined oil, posing health risks and requiring costly cleanup. Safety measures have improved, but unreported spills remain a concern.
