BP and Shell’s profits over the last year have exceeded the combined GDP of the five most climate-vulnerable countries, a new analysis found today.

The fossil fuel giants raked in combined profits of £30 billion between October 2023 and September this year.

According to NGO Global Justice Now, this surpasses the combined gross domestic product of Chad, the Solomon Islands, Niger, Micronesia and Guinea-Bissau, which add up to £26bn.
