🇳🇱 – This week, in a major victory for climate justice, the District Court of The Hague ruled that the Dutch State’s climate policy violates the human rights of residents of Bonaire and treats them unequally compared to people in European Netherlands. With its current climate targets and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the State is failing to comply with international agreements. As a result, the State is acting unlawfully toward the residents of Bonaire.
The court also found that the State has not taken sufficient measures to protect the residents of Bonaire in the climate crisis. The court orders the State to draw up an adaptation plan and implement it no later than 2030. In addition, within 18 months the State must set new binding targets for the entire Dutch economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to make a fair contribution to the goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees.

🇧🇪 Belgium – Greenpeace Belgium activists inflated 10-metre-long representations of Putin and Trump sitting on a gas tanker in front of the EU Council headquarters in Brussels, to symbolise Europe’s dependence on fossil fuel imports from autocrats. They are warning EU leaders not to replace Putin’s gas with Trump’s gas, but instead to protect Europe’s political independence and achieve true energy security by phasing out fossil gas and accelerating the shift to a fully renewable energy system.

🇨🇭 Switzerland – On Wednesday evening, Greenpeace Switzerland activists projected a film and a series of messages onto the cooling tower of the decommissioned Gösgen nuclear power plant. The aim is to denounce the decades-long cover-up of the safety breach in the plant’s feedwater system and the associated danger to the population.

🇹🇼 Taiwan – Greenpeace Taiwan staged a protest outside CPC Corp, Taiwan headquarters, warning that CPC is pushing the “New Fourth Naphtha Cracker” expansion despite five consecutive years of deficits. Greenpeace estimates the project could generate additional losses of over NT$11 billion annually from 2030, based on market pricing amid petrochemical oversupply. Greenpeace urged CPC to halt the project, reassess its petrochemical strategy, and develop a credible transition roadmap.

🇦🇺 Australia – Activists stage a peaceful protest in front of the Sydney Opera House, Australia in solidarity with Greenpeace International and Greenpeace in the USA, facing a meritless SLAPP lawsuit from fossil fuel company Energy Transfer. Greenpeace USA was one of many organisations showing solidarity with peaceful Standing Rock activists and the Indigenous-led prayer camps against Energy Transfer and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
