Climate activists caused a temporary suspension of flights at Cologne/Bonn airport in Germany by cutting a hole in fencing and gluing themselves to the runway. The activist group Last Generation claimed responsibility for the demonstration, demanding the German government commit to exiting coal, oil, and gas by 2030.
Activist Ronja Kuenkler stated that this was just the beginning, with plans to repeat similar protests globally. While protests were promised for the upcoming weeks, only one incident at Oslo airport was reported. Despite the disruption, air travel resumed with delays and cancellations after arrests were made for offenses against the Assembly Act and interfering with air traffic.
Last Generation, formed in 2021, aims to be the last generation before climate breakdown. Their focus in Germany has been on obstructing roads and runways to influence transport policy. The group’s actions underscore the urgency of addressing climate change on a global scale.
