The UK arm of environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion said it plans to step away from attention-grabbing tactics that have caused widespread public disruptions and instead focus on building broader support to help combat rising carbon emissions.
“As we ring in the new year, we make a controversial resolution to temporarily shift away from public disruption as a primary tactic,†the group said.
Activists from Extinction Rebellion have made headlines over the past year through actions such as glueing themselves around the speaker’s chair in the the House of Commons, disrupting Shell Plc’s annual general meeting in London, blocking the city’s Tower Bridge ahead of mass climate protests and working with other environmental groups to block oil terminals owned by BP Plc, Exxon Mobil Corp and Esso UK Ltd.
