Climate activists hold Science Museum protest over fossil fuel sponsors
Student climate activists are holding a protest inside London's Science Museum over its sponsorship deals with fossil fuel companies.
Members of the UK Student Climate Network (UKSCN) said they planned to stay The Night for " victims" of Shell, BP, Equinor and Adani.
The Metropolitan Police said it was in attendance. No arrests have been made.
The protest comes after The Museum announced a New Gallery supported by a subsidiary of the Adani Group .
Adani is a multinational business involved in coal extraction and coal-fired power stations.
The Museum has also faced criticism for partnering with Shell to fund an exhibition about carbon capture and storage, and nature-based solutions to the climate crisis.
The Science Museum has been approached for comment.
Ines, 17, a member of UKSCN London, said: " We Are less than a week away from the start of COP26.
" Now is The Time to abolish fossil fuel companies, not collaborate with them or invite them into our cultural spaces. "
A spokesman for The Met Police said officers were made aware of a protest " inside and outside a museum" at 17:40 BST.
" Officers remain in attendance and are engaging with the protesters, " he added.
