With its massive profits, the oil and gas industry has a chance to lead the energy transition.

Instead, it is driving its business into a dead end and leaving everyday people to pay the price of climate catastrophe. #ClimateAction

🔥 BREAKING: The Government plans to axe the windfall tax on oil & gas super-profits by 2030—while energy bills rise & climate disasters worsen. It's consulting on an alternative.

It's time polluters paid more, not less!

Polluting corporations made billions again last year. Rising bills in the UK and climate
breakdown globally, while polluters rake it in? We don’t think so.

We joined @GlobalJusticeUK at No.10 to tell the government to #MakePollutersPay

There is an enormous opportunity to bring money to the table by taxing the excessively-profitable industry whose activities have literally fuelled the climate crisis. Activists argue that making the polluters pay is just, urgent and long overdue.

With just hours left of the negotiations, activists hosted an interactive show that could not be ignored by national delegations. Delegates shoveled ‘money’ from fossil fuel profits to the Loss & Damage Fund to help balance the ‘scales of climate justice’.

Today at COP29, as wealthy countries insist they don’t have money for a climate finance deal this year, huge crowds of delegates took part in a live ‘game show’ with ‘oil and gas executives’ showing how polluters can pay: no more bad excuses.

Activists are also calling for the funds to be raised through taxes levied on fossil fuel-intensive industries. Last year, three fossil fuel companies made a combined $120 billion in profits - which is more than the combined GDP of the 11 poorest countries most threatened by climate disaster.
