Activists worldwide are taking various actions to draw attention to the 
climate crisis. These include peaceful protests, events, and urban 
infrastructure blockades. While the methods vary, the shared goal is to 
prevent ecological disasters.

The climate situation globally is alarming. Despite some opponents arguing 
that environmentalists are exaggerating, the continuous warming of the 
Earth is evident. The impacts of global warming are clear; for instance, a 
species of ticks that once inhabited savannas and prairies in Africa and 
Asia has now arrived in Europe. Annual fires sparked by droughts have 
become commonplace. Climate activists persistently strive to alert 
governments to this urgent issue, which will significantly affect future 
generations.

Climate activists glued themselves to airport tarmac
Activists from Last Generation are renowned for their radical actions. 
This group unites climate activists globally and has organized numerous 
disruptive events, including disrupting concerts in philharmonics and 
gluing themselves to roads and airports.

On Saturday, May 18, 2024, activists from the German branch of Last 
Generation blocked Munich Airport. Six activists glued themselves to 
various spots on the airport tarmac to block the entire facility—the 
action aimed to highlight the significant environmental impact of air 
transport to the German authorities.

Flight tickets cheaper than train tickets?
This action was extensively covered by Last Generation on social media. 
The activists stress that the government is not doing enough to address 
the climate crisis. They point out that the fact plane tickets are cheaper 
than train tickets is a policy failure. "It's absurd that people can 
afford flights but not train journeys. The responsibility for this 
situation lies with the government," wrote Last Generation on X. Airport 
staff immediately called the police, who started removing the activists 
from the tarmac. Ultimately, six people were arrested.
