Climate

We stand with Global South communities on the frontlines of climate breakdown – and campaign for climate justice.

Across the planet, corporations are extracting oil, gas and minerals for ‘green’ technologies – driving climate breakdown while presenting false ‘solutions’ to the climate crisis, to guarantee their profits. We hold UK-based mining corporations to account for their destructive operations, and stand with our Global South partners and human rights defenders on the frontlines of climate violence. We campaign for climate justice and a Global Green New Deal to protect people and planet.
