We fight to put an end to polluting dirty energy projects. We challenge the power of fossil fuel corporations, bolster support for renewable and citizen-powered energy and seek to hold big polluters to account. We also work to stop the flow of money to dirty and destructive coal and nuclear industries.
Join the movement demanding solutions to the air pollution crisis.
It’s time for all of us to assert our rights, demand climate justice, and a dignified way of life.
Demand a safe, fair, and green transition for a North Sea free of fossil fuels!
