Climate

In late 2019, a new grassroots political activism outfit occupied Westminster in London, bringing parts of the city to a standstill. They called themselves Extinction Rebellion and their aim was to pressure the UK Government to act faster on climate ‘change’. Over the years that followed, climate activism came to be a major flashpoint in British politics and public discourse. Ever dramatic, and often controversial. From XR to the emergence of Just Stop Oil and others, these images come from the front lines of UK climate protest.
