Just Stop Oil to Disband After Achieving Key Goal, New Climate Group Emerges

The UK-based activist group will hold its final protest on April 26, while Youth Demand plans disruptive actions to continue the climate fight.

Just Stop Oil announced its disbandment after the Labour government pledged to stop issuing new oil and gas licenses, fulfilling the group’s primary demand.
The group will hold its final protest in London’s Parliament Square on April 26, marking the end of its controversial, high-visibility tactics.
Over three years, Just Stop Oil’s disruptive actions led to over 3,300 arrests, with 15 activists currently imprisoned and more trials pending.
Youth Demand, a new climate activist group with ties to Just Stop Oil, has emerged and is planning disruptive actions, including roadblocks in London.
Stricter anti-protest laws remain a challenge for activists, with harsher penalties and increased restrictions on demonstrations in the UK.
