These days, the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement marks the fifth time. On this occasion, climate activists from “Fridays for Future” (FFF) are demonstrating today throughout Lower Saxony.
In Göttingen, activists from the FFF and other environmental groups have been blocking the Green office since Friday morning. The action will be manifested for a radical climate policy and against the destruction of the Dannenröder forest in Hesse, said the local Göttingen group “Fridays for Future”.
From the Opernplatz to the Landtag
In Hannover, the demonstration started at 3.30 pm at Opernplatz and, according to the organizer, led through the stone gate to the state parliament. “The Paris Agreement is five years old, but so far nothing has happened,” said one of the organizers, Gina-Marie Burgdorf. The politicians reportedly “filled their ears with promises and lies” and signed an agreement “that they would not fulfill.”

Protest on wednesday
Young activists took to the streets of Hannover on Wednesday. Together with the Green Youth, they demonstrated against the country’s new climate law. In front of the state parliament, three activists donned masks on the faces of Environment Minister Olaf Lies (SPD), Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) and Economy Minister Bernd Althusmann (CDU) and played football with a symbolic balloon . “Dear GroKo, don’t play with the dirt,” they said. “With this climate law, the grand coalition is blurring the window,” said Emily Karius of “Fridays For Future” Lower Saxony.
