We are leading a transition away from an extractive economy based on profit and pollution and toward local, healthy, and life-sustaining economies that benefit everyone.
Climate change isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social, political, and economic problem, too. An economy based on extraction, exploitation, and endless growth has poisoned our air and water, intensified extreme weather events, and led to higher prices for basic necessities like food, housing, water, and energy. It has socialized the costs and privatized the gains, concentrating wealth in the hands of a powerful few, and concentrating poverty and pollution in communities with the fewest material resources to respond. This system cannot last; our planet can no longer sustain it and our people will no longer tolerate it.
Just Transition is a vision and framework for moving toward a world where everyone has the resources they need to live full, dignified lives.

Artists Project Earth aims to create a better world by bringing the power of music and the arts to 21st century challenges. It supports effective projects and awareness raising initiatives to combat climate change and raises funds for natural disaster relief.
Almost all climate scientists agree that human-made climate change is real and we need to take immediate action to avert catastrophic effects on both humans and ecosystems. The need to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than two degrees above pre-industrial levels is vital.
The only way in which we can prevent this is by reducing the amount of fossil fuel we burn. Total world emissions must be stabilized and reduced, with the rich world taking the lead by making very large cuts within a few decades. That means big cuts right away. But it can’t happen unless there is a massively enhanced public awareness of the need for action.

Art Not Oil has mobilised against Big Oil cultural sponsorship since 2004. It was a Rising Tide UK campaign from that date until 2013, when it became a coalition of autonomous organisations united around the aim of ending oil sponsorship of the arts, and sharing its resources as the Art Not Oil Coalition. See the Member Groups page for details of each organisation
