WHY THE
POLLUTERS MUST PAY
They caused it.
The climate crisis didn't happen by accident.
A handful of oil and gas giants are responsible for a huge share of the emissions driving climate breakdown.
$2.8 Billion
PROFIT. EVERY DAY.
FOR 50 YEARS.
While communities faced rising climate impacts, the fossil fuel industry accumulated extraordinary wealth.
THEY KNEW.
For decades, oil companies understood that burning fossil fuels would dangerously heat the planet. Instead of changing course, many funded lobbying and misinformation while continuing to expand production.
They protected profits while delaying climate action.
WE PAY.
Families across the UK are already paying the price.
HIGHER ENERGY BILLS.
HIGHER FOOD PRICES.
HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
MORE FLOODING.
MORE EXTREME WEATHER.
Communities around the world face even greater impacts.
These are the growing losses and damages caused by climate change - homes, livelihoods and ecosystems destroyed by a crisis that communities did little to create.
£3,000
Climate breakdown already costs each UK household around £3,000 a year through higher food and insurance prices and it's far worse elsewhere.
2,877
Death toll from the heatwaves in May and June 2026 in England alone
£4.4 billion
Loss to UK economy from summer heatwaves from lost economic output and reduced working hours during the summer
$120bn
Economic losses from the ten costliest climate disasters in 2025.
250 million
People displaced by climate disasters over the last decade.
That's Why Polluters
Should Pay.
THEY SHOULD PAY
Making polluters pay means making sure the companies that caused the climate crisis contribute to the costs instead of leaving families and taxpayers to shoulder them alone.
The money can help communities recover from climate loss and damage, strengthen resilience to future climate impacts and accelerate the transition to clean energy.
Here in the UK, we're campaigning to ensure oil and gas giants don't make another penny in windfall profits while households struggle.
Around the world, campaigners are turning this principle into real political change.
What was once a campaign demand is becoming political reality.
WHAT WE'RE CALLING FOR NOW
Not a penny more in profits from the war.
Oil and gas giants should not be allowed to cash in on global conflict while families struggle with rising bills and communities face the growing costs of climate change.
Climate change doesn't stop at borders and neither should our response.
The Money Raised Should Help:
01
Keep schools, hospitals and care homes safe during extreme heat.
02
Give firefighters and emergency services the resources they need to respond to floods and wildfires.
03
Protect homes, transport and other vital infrastructure from climate impacts.
04
Accelerate the transition to clean, affordable British energy.
05
Support communities around the world recovering from climate loss and damage and adapting to a changing climate.
