Successful day of action

Our day of action, Corporate Courts vs The Climate helped to reach many thousands more people and build the campaign.

Ahead of the day itself, we had great media coverage of our latest investigation, showing that fossil fuel companies are suing governments for more than $18bn (£13bn) in corporate courts over climate policies. These are corporations that have caused the climate crisis - they should be paying to fix it, not demanding a payout. The story made the headlines on Sky News and was shared quite widely over social media, including by other campaign organisations with quite a big reach.

The video of the story on Sky’s news bulletin is quite a good two minute explainer which could be useful to share in your group or on social media globaljustice.org.uk/sky-ECT
