Adani Green Energy, a company of the Adani Group, has been named as the title sponsor. This decision was opposed by two trustees of the Science Museum and now they have tendered their resignations.

SMG is a non-departmental public body that receives support from the UK Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport but runs independently. Dr Hannah Fry, of the group affiliated with SMG, said in a statement that I do not support the recent agreement with Adani and feel that the museum needs to actively engage with reasonable concerns opposing their stance on fossil fuel sponsorship. is needed so that it can maintain its important position as a leader in the national dialogue on the climate crisis.
