#fossil-fuel-advertising

Over 100 UK advertising and media organisations representing more than 1,000 brands have joined calls for a national ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship. In a joint letter to the UK government, the group compares fossil fuel firms to tobacco companies, accusing them of using advertising to "greenwash their image and sell products that are harmful to human health."

As the UK races to meet our net zero targets, the need to combat fossil fuel extraction has never been more urgent. While many museums, cultural institutions and artists are taking significant measures to combat the escalating climate and nature crisis, it is deeply frustrating that a few high-profile institutions demonstrate irresponsible leadership.
