MAKE POLLUTERS PAY INTERNATIONAL COALITION
It isn’t fair that big oil, gas and coal companies rake in record profits from our bills while bringing us to the brink of climate disaster.
We’re building a global movement to turn the tables and make the big polluters pay for climate action.
MOMENTUM IS BUILDING
Tens of thousands have taken to the streets around the world calling for government action.
We’re already seeing legislation, lawsuits, tax changes across the world to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable.
Politicians are taking a stand – from the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the Club of Madrid of former world leaders, to the Global Solidarity Levies Taskforce led by France, Barbados and Kenya.
Over 1 million people have signed petitions calling for big polluters to pay up!
Why COP30 matters
COP30, taking place in Belém, Brazil, marks ten years since the Paris Agreement — and a decisive test of whether governments will stand up to corporate power or keep letting polluters off the hook. Temperatures have shattered records, yet oil companies are still posting record profits. The injustice couldn’t be clearer: those most responsible for the crisis continue to profit, while those least responsible suffer the most.
The solution is simple and fair: make polluters pay for the damage they cause and the transition they’ve delayed
We’re calling on world leaders at COP30 to:
- Hold polluters accountable — stop letting Big Oil write off its destruction as the cost of doing business.
- Make Polluters Pay – new taxes, end subsidies, legislation, regulation and lawsuits to hold oil, gas and goal giants to account.
- Direct the money to where it’s needed most — in climate-damaged communities, clean energy transitions, and frontline resilience.
- Embed the polluter-pays principle in every major decision — from energy transition plans to adaptation finance.
