  • Eight people from Bonaire, together with Greenpeace Netherlands, are suing the Dutch State. Bonaire is one of the Dutch municipalities hit hardest by climate change. They argue that their human rights are being violated because the State is doing far too little to protect the inhabitants of the special Dutch municipality from the effects of climate change. Here we see plaintiff Kjelld Masoud Kroon. Acht mensen van Bonaire klagen samen met Greenpeace Nederland de Nederlandse Staat aan. © Marten van Dijl / Greenpeace

  • A hundred climate activists supporting Greenpeace, Stay Grounded, Extinction Rebellion, Scientist Rebellion and other climate movement groups from 17 countries have disrupted Europe’s biggest private jets sales fair, the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, demanding a ban on private jets.  Activists were peacefully occupying private jets that are exhibited at the business event by Geneva airport, having chained themselves to aircraft gangways and the exhibition entrance in order to keep prospective buyers from entering. The protestors stuck giant tobacco-style health warning labels on the airplanes marking them as toxic objects and warning that ‘private jets burn our future’, ‘kill our planet’, and ‘fuel inequality’. Public service announcements from loudspeakers carried by the activists exposed the dramatic consequences of private jets for our planet and revealed the hypocrisy of promoting private jets amidst rising social inequality. © Thomas Wolf / Stay Grounded
