Climate Group 'Letzte Generation' Announces Name Change and Strategic Shift
The group plans to abandon disruptive protests like road blockades, aiming instead to build community resilience and foster democratic engagement.
- The climate activist group 'Letzte Generation' has announced it will change its name, citing the belief that society is already experiencing the effects of climate tipping points.
- The group plans to move away from controversial actions such as road blockades and glue-based protests, which have drawn significant public backlash.
- Future efforts will focus on fostering community support, social justice, and preparing for climate-related crises, according to spokesperson Carla Hinrichs.
- The organization intends to maintain its commitment to climate activism but will shift to less confrontational and more inclusive protest strategies.
- This decision follows internal reflection on the group's effectiveness and the challenges posed by legal actions, public criticism, and activist fatigue.
