Just Stop Oil: The Environmental Activists Taking a Stand Against Climate Change

British Group Demands Halt to Fossil Fuel Projects

Non-hierarchical Coalition Aims to Raise Awareness

In the face of an unfolding climate disaster, the British environmental activist group Just Stop Oil is determined to force the government to act. Their mission is clear: stop the approval of new oil and gas projects, which are a major contributor to global warming.

Just Stop Oil is a diverse coalition of organizers, scientists, lawyers, and former oil industry workers. Their non-hierarchical structure allows for grassroots organizing and decentralized decision-making.

On April 28, 2022, supporters of Just Stop Oil blocked entrances to a major motorway, bringing attention to their cause. Such disruptive actions are designed to raise public awareness and pressure the government to take immediate action on climate change.
