For years, Shell and other fossil fuel companies have knowingly made climate change worse. Their reckless choices are ruining lives and livelihoods all over the world, so Greenpeace International is taking action to stop them.

“Trapped in the tiny attic, we watched the water rising through the house we’d saved for years to buy. It felt like the rain would never stop. Something changed in me that day. I knew I had to do something.”Virginia – campaigner, Philippines Read Virginia's story
“In my country, the climate crisis has escalated faster than we could have imagined. Super Typhoon Haiyan ripped through my home town, and my brother’s best friend and his entire family perished.”Yeb – activist, Philippines Read Yeb's story
“My family in Cameroon is living through the crises fossil fuel companies caused. The droughts led to crops failing and rivers drying up. Then when the rains did fall, it was so much that it flooded everything.”Victorine – campaigner, Germany Read Victorine's story
“People in my life have seen so many extreme weather events it’s hard to keep track. Family members have lost entire farms from raging forest fires. Devastating hurricanes wiped out cities and wild places alike.”Usnea – activist, USA
“As each year goes by, I see more extreme weather events in the UK. During the heatwave, I was worried about my older relatives.”Imogen – activist, UK
Even here in the UK, we’re already counting the cost of Shell’s climate recklessness. Whether it’s homes lost to flooding, suffering through a heatwave, or families abroad hit by major climate disasters, almost everyone has a story to tell.
But instead of changing their ways, Shell are intent on making things worse. Enough is enough. Join the campaign for climate justice, and tell Shell: stop drilling, start paying.
