Big oil companies are making billions in profits while climate disasters devastate people around the world. Let's make polluters pay for what they've done.
Rich countries and polluting corporations in the global north are the most responsible for climate change.
Yet, billions of people across the global south are being impacted by climate catastrophe, despite being the least responsible for causing it.
Movements from the global south are calling for countries with high historic carbon emissions, like the UK, to pay climate compensation for these impacts, known as 'loss and damage'.
A loss and damage fund was finally set up at COP27 last year, but now polluters need to be forced to pay into it.
We need to stand in solidarity with the global south in their demands. Tell the UK government to make polluters pay for loss and damage!

To the UK prime minister
Billions are facing climate chaos in the global south. As the country with the 5th highest historic carbon emissions, that is home to some of the most polluting corporations in the world, the UK has a moral and historic responsibility to act. Loss and damage finance is a huge priority for the least developed countries in the UN climate talks.
I am calling on you to:
- Ensure the UK contributes new money to the UN's loss and damage fund
- Increase taxation on polluting corporations to pay for it.
