Lutter contre l'obstruction et la capture des politiques dans la transition énergétique

Héros – Document sur la capture des politiques

The technology, economics, and knowledge for a successful énergie transition are in place. Solar and battery costs have fallen by over 90 percent in fifteen years. Renewables are now cost-competitive almost everywhere. Global clean energy investment hit USD 2.3 trillion in 2025—double the amount going to fossil fuels.

Yet the global policy response has stalled. After two decades of accelerating climate action, progress plateaued in 2021, and began to reverse in some countries. Part of this is a lack of ambition or high costs. But more often than not, powerful interests, especially fossil fuel industries, are behind this slowdown.

This report, produced with the support of the KR Foundation, examines how deliberate obstruction by vested interests undermines the energy transition. It then looks at how open government can serve as a strategic counterforce. To illustrate this, the report presents in-depth profiles of four countries (Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom), mapping how obstruction operates and what open government can do about it.

As the obstruction of energy transition policy has evolved, so too must the toolkit to counter it. The aim of this report is to identify potential actions that reformers inside and outside of government can undertake to clear the path for cleaner, cheaper, and more abundant energy.

Looking ahead, this report offers a key framing that can be applied beyond the energy transition. The same dynamics of concentrated interests, governance capture, and information manipulation play out across other domains where OGP works, from finance politique to public health to industries d'extraction. Climate inaction is a human-created problem, and thus has solutions that can also be created by humans.

L'OGP Unité de soutien would like to thank our co-convenors who facilitated the convenings in each country studied in this report: Transparence International Brazil, Natural Resource Governance Institute Mexico, Bantay Kita, and UK Open Government Network.
