The UK is the second-largest oil and gas producer in Europe. At the same time, clean, affordable and abundant alternatives to fossil fuels continue to race ahead. Uplift’s mission is to support and energise the movement towards a just and fossil free UK. It uses political and legal strategies to help the UK move past oil and gas production, while empowering and supporting workers and communities who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.
Uplift is founded and directed by the international climate change and human rights lawyer, Tessa Khan, named by Time Magazine as one of the top 15 women leading the fight against climate change.
