  • Greenpeace activists are protesting against the climate-damaging extraction of fossil natural gas around 20 kilometers northwest of the North Sea island of Borkum after the authorities in Lower Saxony approved the planned drilling here. The climate activists from Germany and the Netherlands have anchored three floating islands at the destination of the production platform, which is expected to arrive. Other activists are demonstrating in rubber dinghies and kayaks for the protection of the Wadden Sea, their flags and banners bearing the slogans “Gas destroyed!” and “No New Gas”.

  • Greenpeace activists are protesting about 20 kilometers northwest of the island of Borkum against the climate-damaging extraction of fossil gas. The activists from Germany and the Netherlands are circling the gas drilling platform (Jackup rig) "Prospector 1" in rubber boats. Some of them have climbed onto the platform and have attached themselves to the legs. Flags and banners read "Gas zerstört!" (Gas destroys!) and "No New Gas". The Dutch energy company One Dyas wants to exploit the N-05A natural gas field at this location. A Dutch court had initially stopped the drilling project for over a year. Since May 31, 2024, a new drilling permit has been in place. The intended location for the platform is 500 meters behind the German border on Dutch territory between the islands of Schiermonnikoog and Borkum. In the immediate vicinity is the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. Near the drilling site and along the cable route intended for its power supply, there are unique, protected stone reefs that Greenpeace first scientifically documented in 2023.

  • 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
