Climate activists target airports

Climate protestors are promising further disruption to air travel after targeting one of Germany’s busiest airports on Wednesday. Trent Murray has the details.

 

 

Last Generation has called for the German government to engage in a global agreement aimed at ending the use of fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal, by 2030. The group has announced plans for similar “peaceful, civil protests” at airports across Europe and North America, seeking to draw attention to the need for climate action.

In Finland, activists were photographed obstructing the security gates at Helsinki Vantaa Airport. In Norway, three activists reportedly breached the perimeter fence of Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport. Norwegian media reported that these individuals were removed by authorities within 30 minutes of gaining access.
