Just Stop Oil to End Protests Following Policy Success

The UK climate group will hold a final demonstration on April 26 before transitioning to a new strategy focused on systemic change.

Just Stop Oil announced it will cease disruptive protests after achieving its primary goal of ending new oil and gas licensing in the UK.
The group will hold a final protest in London’s Parliament Square on April 26, marking the conclusion of its three-year campaign.
Over 3,300 arrests and 180 prison sentences for activists, combined with stricter anti-protest laws, influenced the decision to stop direct action.
The group claims credit for keeping 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground and raising awareness of fossil fuel impacts through high-profile stunts.
Plans are underway to adopt a new strategy addressing broader climate and systemic issues, with a call for revolutionary action to confront future crises.
