"Fossil fuel companies ... seek to reinforce their social licence and influence consumer behaviour by associating themselves with progress, positivity and public good.” MPs speak out for a ban on fossil fuel advertising & sponsorship: www.desmog.com/2025/07/07/m...

TODAY: MPs will, for the first time, debate a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship. For our health, for climate, for human rights, for Palestinian liberation - we must stop promoting and enabling some of the most destructive companies on the planet.

Culture, education and academic boycott of the Science Museum until Adani & BP are dropped as sponsors! 🎨👩‍🔬✍️ We - writers, academics, performers, artists, scientists, musicians, culture workers - refuse to contribute to Science Museum events and activities and will refuse contracts with the museum…

Education union calls on schools to boycott London's Science Museum over ‘image-laundering’ sponsorship deals Groups representing scientists, teachers and culture workers held a protest outside the institution on Sunday over its deals with oil company BP and Adani Green Energy buff.ly/ej7a8AM

News | Opposition to philanthropy is ‘imagined’, say climate campaigners Anti-oil group @cultureunstained.bsky.social says sponsorship could be a 'win-win' if museums adopt ethical red lines, as debate on the issue continues

If you're a teacher please support the boycott of the Science Museum until they drop BP & Adani as sponsors. This action is supported by NEU and continues the calls by @cultureunstained.bsky.social to stop fossil fuel companies sponsoring culture. www.educationclimatecoalition.co.uk/sciencemuseu...

In the UK I'm petitioning for a ban of fossil fuel ads and sponsorships– for too long these corporations have had unlimited £££ to greenwash their dirty reputations in schools , sports and everywhere in between – it must change govpetition.uk/700024

cc @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social Still “committed to working with funders who are also on a journey to decarbonise”? Can we talk again about #BP?

A poorly argued piece here from #BritishMuseum Director Nick Cullinan which is sprinkled with inaccuracies, straw man arguments and mischaracterisations of activism. We can - and should - have ethical standards for cultural sponsorship. www.ft.com/content/4e4e... @cultureunstained.bsky.social 1/x

Adani-owned NDTV using image posted by Gautam Adani to promote Adani-sponsored gallery. 🤔

“We have the solutions – but what stops us is the disinformation campaigns and lobby power of the fossil fuel industry” - Prof Stefan Rahmstorf Yet the #ScienceMuseum is still promoting fossil fuel companies as part of the solution? 🤔

Thank you Emma for taking a stand against the #ScienceMuseum 's unethical sponsorship deals, and all power to culture workers everywhere who are standing up to dodgy sponsorship and corporate capture of the arts

A welcome shift - and one influenced not just by the amazing campaign against #Sackler funding but also the #fossilfreeculture movement’s scrutiny of oil sponsorship of the arts… www.ft.com/content/d2a9...

Last week, the #BritishMuseum’s Director reaffirmed his commitment to partnering with #BP as the company scrapped its #climate goals. Now, new data shows that BP remains one of the biggest emitters in the world… 🔥🌍🛢️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Did you know? Half of global fossil CO2 emissions in 2023 were linked to just 36 companies. A 🆕 update to the Carbon Majors database shows the disproportionate contribution of a small number of high emitting companies to the GHG emissions damaging the planet. 🏭👉 carbonmajors.org/briefing/The...

“As #climate impacts such as wild fires and flooding intensify, these museums will appear even more out-of-touch particularly with the concerns of younger generations.” The @the-independent.com on the growing pressure on the #BritishMuseum and #ScienceMuseum. 👀 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The Science Museum requests sponsors to be aligned to the carbon reduction targets of the Paris climate accord. But BP's new fossil fuel plans = calls for Science Museum, & British Museum, to end their 'artwashing' deals. My latest for @theartnewspaper.bsky.social

After BP announced it was going back to petroleum (again), #BritishMuseum Director Nick Cullinan went on BBC #FrontRow to defend its BP partnership… 🛢️🙄🏛️ But naughty Nick had a few misleading answers to Kirsty’s questions… 😮 1/x www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

NEW | Prof Joanna Haigh tells @theartnewspaper.bsky.social: “Museums are intended to benefit society but by partnering w/BP the British Museum and Science Museum provide social licence and political cover for one of the most harmful industries on the planet.” www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/02/28/b...

“You are now an outlier - it’s part of your job to sell the #BritishMuseum’s ongoing association with an oil giant.” And that’s exactly why BP sponsors culture! 🛢️ Kirsty Wark grills Director Nick Cullinan on #FrontRow who deflects and avoids the ethical issues! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

NEW | Us in the Guardian on BP’s reckless plans… “BP abandoned any pretence of caring about its massive climate impacts as it recommitted to oil and gas. Now, by recommitting to partnerships with BP, #TheBritishMuseum and #ScienceMuseum have done the same.“ www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So, BP goes back to petroleum (again). And ten years on, we still haven’t learnt that Big Oil doesn’t change its DNA. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Before this week, #BP’s business plans were already on a collision course with #netzero and the Paris #Climate Goals. 🔥 Now, it’s going even further in a planet-wrecking direction. 🌍 The @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social must urgently review its BP partnership! 😡 www.theguardian.com/business/nil...

BP’s CEO: Our strategy is really cool. The planet: Getting hotter every year. BP’s strategy is environmentally reckless - those still partnering with BP must urgently think again. #dropbp

Commitment to fossil fuels and abandonment of low carbon by BP is overwhelming clear. Now, LESS THAN 5% of its capital expenditure will go on ‘low carbon’ - and half of that is on hydrogen and CCS, not *actual* renewables!! #bp #netzero #climate #investorbriefing

"Documents released by the UK government in early February 2025 reveal that, in 2021, Gautam Adani and then UK prime minister Boris Johnson discussed collaborating on weapons production and renewable energy." @cultureunstained.bsky.social media release via Adani Watch: tinyurl.com/56a52neh

BP CEO tells investors that it’s vision for energy transition was misplaced and that “we went too far, too fast”. This, as climate scientists have made clear how the world is not decarbonising anywhere near fast enough. #bp #netzero #fossilfuels #climate 1/x

Our statement on BP’s expected shift back to fossil fuels - and the steps #TheBritishMuseum and #ScienceMuseum must now take to end their partnerships with this environmentally destructive company. 1/3 #dropbp #bp #climate #fossilfuels #climatechange

A “fundamental reset” to frying the planet (faster)… 🔥🌍 Once again, BP is going back to petroleum…and the likes of The British Museum and the Science Museum are *still* backing them! 😡 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That 10-year partnership with a major polluter, with a track record of going “back to petroleum”, realllllly isn’t looking like a great idea, is it #BritishMuseum?! 🙄 www.ft.com/content/881b...

With the news that the contract has been awarded for the redevelopment of the British Museum coming this morning, questions still linger over the use of BP’s dirty money for the project and the legitimacy the major polluters is gaining as a result… #dropbp

Trustees at the Science Museum recently expressed unease over the museum’s ongoing sponsorship with a company belonging to Indian conglomerate Adani Group, it has emerged.

“The bribery allegations would appear to breach the museum’s group ethics policy…” Great piece in @artsprofessional.co.uk covering our latest findings on the mounting controversy around the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social’s #Adani sponsorship… 👀 🙌 💰 www.artsprofessional.co.uk/news/science...

BREAKING | Now @thetimes.com reports on our investigation finding that trustees at the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social raised concerns when Adani’s indictment was announced! 📑👀 And in spite of the growing opposition, the museum has taken *more* dirty #Adani money! 😮💰 www.thetimes.com/uk/arts/arti...

The FT reports on the briefings disclosed by the Cabinet Office which now reveal how much #Adani paid to sponsor the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social - and Gautam Adani’s ambitions for his conglomerate to become the ‘BAE Systems of India’! www.ft.com/content/631b...

Following corruption allegations against the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social sponsor, Adani Green, and a US indictment of Adani, the story of the shady conglomerate continues. This is further fuelled by new revelations from Culture Unstained's FOI requests. www.ft.com/content/631b...

After refusing to admit it, the Director of the @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social now says it told #Equinor its sponsorship deal would NOT be renewed! But now, he is adamant that taking money from #Adani - which faces bribery charges - was the right thing to do… 👀 www.telegraph.co.uk/art/architec...
