STATEMENT ON THE NEWS THAT BP IS NO LONGER SPONSORING CHANNEL 4’S PARALYMPICS COVERAGE

We are organisations and athletes that are deeply concerned about the climate breakdown we are starting to see around the world. We recognise the need to act urgently to phase out fossil fuels in order to avoid the worst scenarios set out by scientists in the recent IPCC report. 

From our friends at Fossil Free Arts (Western Australia):

'At the opening night of WA Ballet’s performance of Dracula, two dancers showed that Woodside Energy’s Scarborough gas would suck the life from future generations. We call on WA Ballet to end their relationship with climate and cultural heritage destroying Woodside because of their inability to drop their addiction to fossil fuels.'

From our excellent friends at Culture Unstained:

'On 19th May, the Science Museum in London opened its new climate exhibition ‘Our Future Planet‘ – sponsored by the oil giant and major polluter Shell. Since the sponsorship deal was announced back in April, a major backlash has unfolded with scientists, youth climate activists, exhibition contributors and the wider public speaking out through protests, petitions and a youth-led boycott of the exhibition.

From our friends at BP or not BP:

'Dear friends,

We're excited to announce our next action: a disobedient tour of the British Museum on Saturday August 14th!

We'll be joined by a team of amazing speakers inside the museum, making the links between objects in the museum’s collection, the history of the British Empire, the museum's BP sponsorship, and struggles for global and climate justice around the world today. 

Culture Unstained's response to the appointment of George Osborne as Chair of British Museum Trustees:

Chris Garrard's letter in the FT, 28.6.21:
The British Museum will soon decide whether to renew its sponsorship deal with the oil company BP. However, its new chair George Osborne can have no role in that decision (“George Osborne picked to lead British Museum”, June 25).

Climate change activists urge @Sadlers_Wells to end sponsorship of Barclays, the largest financier of fossil fuel extraction in Europe; (FYI Sadler’s Wells board chair is also chair of Barclays, as per @Tate with BP and Lord Browne a few years back):

'The country’s foremost dance organisation is being pressed by climate change activists to drop a partnership with Barclays that funds cheap tickets for young people.

Fro our friends at Fossil Free NL:

'After a long history of cultural sponsorship that started in 1931, Shell and NEMO Science Museum have quietly ended their partnership during lockdown. A cultural sector fully liberated from the fossil fuel industry is now within reach in Amsterdam. 

We celebrate the end of Shell’s current partnership with NEMO and call for a commitment to rule out future fossil fuel partnerships. Let’s remember what we can’t accept.
