SINCE its creation in 2018, Extinction Rebellion has evolved into the foremost and most influential movement in Britain dedicated to advocating for climate justice, ecological restoration and authentic democracy. It has been pivotal in reshaping awareness and discourse surrounding the urgent reality of the climate and ecological crisis.
We are now active in 72 countries, with 1,100 groups across a total of 473 cities and towns, with about 130 in the UK.
We have shifted public opinion on the climate and ecological emergency in a way that no other organisation or movement has managed before. Yet in Britain we remain locked in a dangerous and destructive status quo exacerbated by the government’s failures to fulfil its promises, most recently with Rishi Sunak’s cynical rollback of net zero commitments.
