GUESS WHAT!? THE Emma Thompson narrated a short video with us to expose the forest biomass industry for what it is: a false climate solution. And it just went live worldwide!
Former coal companies are logging and burning forests for energy and calling it green. The industry is rapidly expanding because of billions in government subsidies across the globe. Now’s the moment – while this destructive industry is still in its infancy – to cut these taxpayer handouts and stop it in its tracks.
Help us get millions of eyes on this myth-busting video and challenge the industry narrative, while putting pressure on decision makers.

Some of the most delicate forests at stake are in British Columbia, the west coast of Canada, and in the U.S. If this destructive industry continues at its current pace, it puts at risk millions of hectares of primary and old growth forests – and the delicate ecosystems that rely on their health.
Last year, communities across the world were met with extreme wildfires, the global heat dome, flooding and landslides – breaking records all over the world. We know that the magnitude of these disasters are a direct result of practices like runaway logging. As the world races to mitigate the impacts of climate change, we must ensure our governments make timely investments in real renewables and truly green, long term jobs for all.
That’s precisely why everyone, everywhere needs to know the truth about forest biomass. For too long fossil fuel companies have controlled the narrative and now, we’re taking the power back. We need the Stand.earth community to help us amplify the message in this new video: it’s time to move beyond burning and keep forests standing.
Working towards large-scale protection of our natural world, challenging false climate solutions, and standing up for Indigenous rights and community safety is just the work Stand.earth is here to take on. Because of people like you, this community is more than 650,000 strong and growing – and together, we’re using our collective power to tackle the climate crisis, stand with impacted communities, and say no to new fossil fuels.
Together, we can take on the industry’s latest scam to funnel public dollars away from real climate solutions and into their pockets.
Stand.earth challenges corporations, industries, and governments to prioritize the well-being of people, our environment, and our climate by creating long-term, effective solutions. None of this work is possible without your support.
