Equinor out

News in Brief

On 28 June, the Science Museum in London announced it had dropped one of its sponsors, Equinor, because the Norwegian oil and gas firm’s plans did not meet the Paris Climate Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.

Culture Unstained, which has campaigned against fossil fuel sponsorship of the Science Museum, pointed out that the Equinor announcement was buried at the bottom of a blog post released just days before the UK general election.

The museum is now facing calls to cut sponsorship ties to two other major fossil fuel polluters: BP and the Indian coal company Adani.
