Europe
is going
Fossil Free

Start

Fossil fuel companies are driving the climate crisis and have successfully delayed action on climate change for decades. It’s time for our institutions to take a stand and cut their financial ties with fossil fuel companies. And it’s up to us to make sure they do.

Every time an institution pulls their funds out of fossil fuels and refuses to take donations and sponsorship from the companies fueling the climate crisis, we chip away at their power to carry out their immoral business plans. As the industry loses public acceptance, its political power to hold back action on climate change erodes.

FOSSIL FREE CAMPAIGNS IN EUROPE

DIVEST: The aim of the divestment campaign is to weaken the political influence of the fossil fuel industry, which keeps holding back action on climate change. Divestment is the opposite of investment – it means getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical. Which institutions in your local area could you call on to #divest? Check out the Divestment guide for ideas on possible campaign targets, and how to plan and run your local divestment campaign. Each Divestment campaign group is autonomous but is built from the same building blocks. And it’s working: in just a few years of divestment campaigning, 800+ institutions have already divested funds to the value of $6+ trillion, and rising!


DESPONSOR: Many companies try to greenwash their image by sponsoring art galleries, exhibitions, and museums. Another way to show that the fossil fuel industry has no social licence is to call on these public institutions to refuse sponsorship and funding from fossil fuel companies. Some pioneering desponsor campaigns in Europe include Fossil Free Culture NL, targeting Shell’s sponsorship of Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, Libérons le Louvre in Paris (the Louvre is sponsored by Total), and the Art not Oil coalition, targeting BP’s sponsorship of the British Museum and other institutions in London. In September last year, there were actions in all three cities in just one week!

Other Fossil Free campaign ideas: In Europe, we’re best placed to support your local organising on divestment and de-sponsorship right now. If you’re thinking of starting a new campaign, we think this would be the best place to start. But in other countries around the world, the Fossil Free campaign is starting to broaden its focus and adding some new campaign opportunities. If you’re keen to get an early look at these or test one of the new campaign ideas in your area, it’d be great to hear from you: visit gofossilfree.org or get in touch with us at europe-team@350.org.

A Green New Deal: What, Why, How

There is nothing pragmatic about ignoring the threat of climate change. The only realistic plan is one ambitious enough to match the scale of the crisis, and to transform our society for the better in the process.
