Greenpeace Protests at TotalEnergies for Fossil Fuel Taxation

Activists demand oil giants pay for climate disasters as COP29 discussions continue.

  • Greenpeace activists placed debris from a South African tornado outside TotalEnergies' headquarters in Paris to symbolize the impact of climate change.
  • The protest is part of a global series of demonstrations coinciding with the second week of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
  • Greenpeace calls for a tax on major oil and gas companies to fund the UN's climate disaster relief efforts.
  • A proposed $5 per ton CO2 tax on emissions could raise $900 million by 2030 for climate damage funds.
  • TotalEnergies acknowledges protest rights but condemns any form of violence during demonstrations.
