To avert climate breakdown, the vast majority of the fossil fuel industry's coal, gas and oil reserves need to stay in the ground.

For decades, fossil fuel companies and their lobbyists have denied science, and have delayed, weakened, and sabotaged climate action. They made billions in profits, while heating the planet and destroying communities.

Their business model is killing our present and our future. This stops now.

ABOUT

We can no longer afford to let the fossil fuel industry undermine our democracy as we try and halt climate chaos, fix our energy system, and protect people and planet.

To tackle the climate emergency, and ensure that climate policy is conducted entirely in the public interest, we must cut fossil fuel interests out of politics, similar to existing restrictions on the tobacco industry. Before it's too late.

WE DEMAND:

1

end fossil fuel industry access to decision-making

2

AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FOR DECISION-MAKERS

3

end preferential treatment of the fossil fuel industry

4

reject partnerships with the fossil fuel industry
