We’ve made sure not a penny of our supporters’ money will go to Shell. Instead, we’ve agreed to donate £300,000 to our brave friends at the RNLI whose work protecting those at sea is more important than ever as climate change supercharges storms around the world. We also agreed not to protest at four sites in the North Sea for a period of time where we had no plans to intervene anyway.
Even if we had won the case, we could still have ended up worse off than by settling it at this early stage - that’s the absurd nature of intimidation lawsuits. But now the case is over, we can use our resources to actually campaign against Shell and the rest of the fossil fuel industry.
We’re going to take the fight to Shell in 2025 by demanding that the government makes them stop drilling for new oil and gas and start paying for the climate damage they are causing at home and abroad.
So far over 76,000 people have signed our petition to Keir Starmer urging him to rein in big polluters like Shell, but John, your name is missing. Every signature helps us ramp up the pressure on the government to act, so please can you add yours now?
