Climate Emergency Shut Down of BP HQ in London

Greenpeace activists blockade all entrances to the BP headquarters in London, demanding an end to all new oil and gas exploration. The campaigners arrived at 3am on Monday and encased themselves in heavy containers before the oil company’s annual general meeting (AGM) on Tuesday. Other activists are also climbing the building to hang signs from the windows.

Greenpeace volunteers shut down BP Headquarters in central London. Greenpeace is demanding that BP immediately ends all exploration for new oil and gas and switches to investing only in renewable energy. If BP does not do that, says Greenpeace, it should wind down its operations entirely and go out of business.
The activists have encased themselves in specially designed, toughened containers weighing several tonnes each, blockading all the HQ’s main entrances and preventing staff from entering the building.
The containers display photos from photographer Gideon Mendel's Drowning World project which explores the impacts of the climate emergency on people from around the world.
Other activists have climbed on the building and displayed banners reading “Climate Emergency”.
