It's time to stop promoting pollution, just like we stopped promoting tobacco.

In 2025, over 110,000 people in the UK called on our Government to end the promotion of fossil fuels. Now we need MPs around the country to push to make the fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship ban a reality.

Local municipalities like Edinburgh, Sheffield and Portsmouth have prohibited high-carbon advertising on council-controlled sites to clear the way for better health and meaningful climate policy, while countries like the Netherlands and France are also taking steps towards a ban.

In June 2024, the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres said: “Many governments restrict or prohibit advertising for products that harm human health – like tobacco... I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies.”

Will you take up the call and write to your MP asking them to support a fossil fuel ad ban?
