Climate Activists Scale Polish Power Plant Ahead of COP24

HeadlineNov 29, 2018

And in more environmental news, Greenpeace activists climbed a 600-foot chimney at a power station in central Poland Tuesday to protest the country’s use of coal ahead the of U.N. climate talks next month.

Katarzyna Guzek: “Belchatów power plant is the largest coal-fired power plant in Europe and one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the world. Greenpeace activists are pointing finger on this particular facility because it’s the largest climate killer in Europe. Soon, the political leaders will meet in Katowice at the climate summit, COP24, to discuss the future of climate policies. This kind of action should encourage everybody to demand from political and business leaders to do a just transition from coal towards renewable energy and energy efficiency.”

Democracy Now! will be broadcasting from Katowice, Poland, from December 10 to December 15.
