  • 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

  • People fill their buckets from a municipal water tanker on May 20, 2022, in Lahuriya village, 65 kms (40 miles) from Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India. A severe heatwave has caused drought-like conditions in vast swathes of India's agricultural heartlands from north to south. India is particularly vulnerable to drought as its agriculture sector is heavily dependent on timely, uninterrupted natural weather cycles for its survival. Ritesh Shukla/Getty Images
