The U.K. climate group Just Stop Oil has announced it will no longer pursue its campaign of disruptive and attention-grabbing stunts.
“At the end of April we will be hanging up the hi vis,” a statement from the group said Thursday morning.
The group emerged in 2022 with a series of high-profile protests, including road blockades and attacks on cultural icons such as Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers,” Stonehenge and at snooker matches.
Just Stop Oil originally pushed for the government to end new oil and gas exploration in Britain. The Labour government shared that policy goal and implemented it after they won the election last year. The group on Thursday claimed this made it “one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history.”
