To keep our planet liveable
WE DEMAND THAT GLOBAL LEADERS:
Ban all new oil development, extraction, and infrastructure
Phase out the production and sales of cars that run on oil
Lead a just transition towards people-centred, renewable energy and transport systems
THIS IS A
CLIMATE
EMERGENCY.
LET'S END THE AGE OF OIL
Melting ice caps, dying coral reefs, wildfires, more and more extreme weather events: we’re facing a climate emergency because we’re burning fossil fuels. And yet oil companies keep on drilling for more oil.
Taking on one of the world's most powerful industries is no small task, but when millions of us come together, to stand for what we believe is possible, it sends a powerful message to decision makers.
We are the generation that ends oil.
Join us.

THE story SO FAR
In 2012, the movement to Save the Arctic began to gain momentum. In just a few short years, more than 8 million people from all around the world had achieved incredible wins. Together, we protected a vast area of the Arctic Ocean from destructive fishing, kicked Shell out of Alaska, and convinced 1000+ political and civil society leaders to endorse a new Arctic roadmap.
But protecting the Arctic is not enough. In 2018, leading climate scientists warned we must halve global emissions by 2030 if we are to avoid some of the most dangerous impacts of climate change. That means using far less oil (especially in transport), leaving oil we know about in the ground, stopping the development of any new oil, and acting fast to embrace solutions.
Already countries like New Zealand, France, and Belize are saying no to offshore drilling. Indigenous Peoples are winning court battles to protect their land and water from oil. As people call for healthier cities with cleaner air, and electric mobility thrives, governments from Norway to China to Japan see the end in sight for combustion engine cars. We can do this.CAMPAIGN STATS

WHAT'S happening AROUND THE WORLD?
New Zealand
The first country to say no to nuclear is on the verge of being completely oil free. Let’s push it over the edge and create a shining example for countries everywhere to follow.
Amazon Reef
More than 2 million people are together defending the reef and we’ve already had our first victory: French company Total didn't get the license to drill near the reef off the coast of Brazil. Now we need to keep putting pressure to stop any other companies from drilling there.
Australian Bight
On Australia’s south coast there is an entirely unexplored ocean, home to more different species than the great barrier reef. Help us make this sea oil free.
ETP & Pipelines
At Standing Rock, Indigenous Peoples peacefully opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline inspiring millions around the world. Now people are taking action to stop pipelines all over North America.
Clean Air Now
Our cities are choking in air pollution. We demand cities designed for people, not cars! Our cities are choking in air pollution. We demand clean air now!
The People vs Arctic Oil
Half a million of us are taking Norway’s government to court for releasing new Arctic oil. We are prepared to go all the way to supreme court to stop the drilling! Join us.
Save the Arctic
In 2013 the Arctic Sunrise was illegally seized and the 30 people aboard arrested for trying to stop Arctic drilling. Millions of us rallied to free the Arctic 30, and declare the Arctic off limits to oil drilling and industrial fishing.
