Summary

The group mainly campaigned for UK to end the extraction of oil and gas by 2030. British environmental activist group Just Stop Oil has held its final demonstration in London, ending three years of high-profile climate protest stunts as they moved their focus away from civil disobedience. More than 3,000 Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested since it was founded in 2022 and 11 of them are currently in jail, including 58-year-old co-founder Roger Hallam. But the group claimed a victory after the UK Labour government halted new oil and gas exploration licences in the North Sea. Labour has distanced itself from Just Stop Oil, however.
