Just Stop Oil Ends Protests After Achieving Key Climate Goal

The UK activist group will hold a final demonstration in April before shifting focus to a new global climate strategy.

Just Stop Oil announced it will cease disruptive protests after the UK Labour government adopted its primary demand to end new oil and gas licensing.
The group will hold a final protest in Parliament Square, London, on April 26, 2025, marking the conclusion of its direct action campaign.
Since its founding in 2022, the group claims to have prevented the extraction of over 4.4 billion barrels of oil and influenced legal rulings against new fossil fuel projects.
Activists faced significant legal consequences under stricter anti-protest laws, with over 3,300 arrests and 180 prison sentences reported.
The group plans to develop a new strategy addressing global climate challenges, warning that systemic change is urgently needed to combat the climate crisis.
