A GLOBAL
COALITION
MOVEMENT UPDATES
Around the world, the movement is growing.
Campaigners are winning new laws. Communities are taking polluters to court. Governments are putting new ideas on the table. More organisations are joining the call for fossil fuel companies to pay for the damage they've caused.
Here you'll find the latest updates from across the Make Polluters Pay movement, from coalition partners, national campaigns and the international secretariat.
Together, they tell one story: momentum is building.
Big Oil should pay for Nepal disaster
The new UN Loss and Damage Fund is under pressure to provide emergency support for Nepal, but holds only a fraction of the funding promised by governments.
It’s time the big oil and gas companies responsible for climate breakdown were made to pay up.
UN Secretary-General calls for polluters to pay!
Across two speeches at London Climate Action Week, António Guterres urged governments to tax fossil fuel windfall profits: “These are windfall gains born of pain… I urge governments to tax them.”
“The companies driving climate chaos cannot continue profiting from the destruction while vulnerable countries struggle. Polluters must pay.”
European finance ministers call for windfall taxes!
Oil and gas companies made bumper profits of $93 billion in just three months as the war on Iran sent energy prices soaring. The profits made headlines around the world.
Poland has now joined Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Austria in calling for an EU-wide tax on oil companies’ exceptional profits, another sign of growing political momentum behind the call to Make Polluters Pay.
