The Guardian has become the first major global news organisation to institute an outright ban on taking money from companies that extract fossil fuels. In a bid to reduce their carbon footprint, confront greenwashing and increase their focus on the climate crisis, the Guardian this week announced it will no longer run ads from fossil fuel extractors alongside any of its content in print or online. The move will come into immediate effect, and follows the announcement in October last year that they intend to reduce our net emissions to zero by 2030.
