BP’s “mammoth” profits come at expense of global south, campaigners say

Date: 30 July 2024
Campaigns: Climate

Responding to BP’s second quarter 2024 results out today, Izzie McIntosh, climate campaigner at Global Justice Now said:

These mammoth profits for BP come at the expense of our climate, communities and the global south facing the most brutal impacts of a climate crisis they did not cause. Labour has made some promising signals about a move toward green energy – it now needs to throw its weight behind tackling the rampant profiteering of oil and gas companies. It can do this by introducing a windfall tax and other measures to fund the UK’s contribution to a globally just fossil fuel phase out that works for workers and communities in the UK and around the world.”
