Again and again activists occupy squares, construction sites or other areas to draw attention to their interests.

Now also at dizzying heights.

Passau - More and more climate activists in Germany are campaigning for more ambitious climate concepts.

What was brought into the public eye with the Fridays For Future movement is now being carried to many municipalities nationwide with climate camps and other campaigns.

In Passau *, too, the young activists repeatedly start various campaigns.

Only recently, two of the activists went to dizzying heights in the evening.

Passau climate activists on urban concept: "Inconsistent, intransparent, cheeky"

In downtown Passau, two young men climbed onto a centrally placed crane to hang up a banner.

With the words “Climate protection concept.

Inconsistent.

Intransparent.

Naughty. ”Is to be demonstrated against the city's just adopted climate concept.

The criticism: According to the Passau Climate Camp, the requirements of the Paris Climate Agreement are being ignored in the new regulation.

The activists wrote on Twitter: "It was just 'We do what is possible and politically feasible'." But that is obviously not enough for the demonstrators.

#passau the banner is hanging and not for nothing.

According to the police, the area under the crane was cordoned off.

The climate protectors were on the crane that was set up at the town hall for two hours.

Then the two - according to the police spokesman - professionally secured activists climbed down again.

Nobody was injured, and no property damage occurred, according to the authorities.

Crane protest in Passau: Not the first climate action

A few weeks ago, climate protection activists met in downtown Passau to occupy a tree on the Inn promenade. They waited on the green for hours until the police finally evacuated the unannounced political gathering. In order to get the activists from the tree, a SEK team with height training was requested from Munich. A spontaneous demonstration of solidarity in support of the activists accompanied the action with boos and incomprehension. In the network, too, the specially moved SEK was classified as disproportionate.
