This is an emergency.
Life on Earth is in crisis. Our climate is changing faster than scientists predicted and the stakes are high. Biodiversity loss. Crop failure. Social and ecological collapse. Mass extinction. We are running out of time, and our governments have failed to act. Extinction Rebellion was formed to fix this.
We have a moral duty to take action — whatever our politics.
Our Demands:
tell the truth
Government must tell the truth about the climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
act now
Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
beyond politics
Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
just transition
We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities for years of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity, and repairs the effects of ongoing ecocide to prevent extinction of human and all species, in order to maintain a livable, just planet for all.

The Time to Act is now.
Traditional strategies like petitioning, lobbying, voting and protest have not worked due to the rooted interests of political and economic forces. Our approach is therefore one of non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience – a rebellion to bring about change, since all other means have failed.
