Overview

• Fridays for Future reported about 800 participants at Friday’s march on Borkum, while police estimated up to 400, with a peaceful rally ending on the beach.
• The Klimacamp organized by Fridays for Future and Deutsche Umwelthilfe runs from Thursday to Sunday with roughly 200 attendees and appearances including Luisa Neubauer.
• Lower Saxony’s mining authority LBEG approved Sofortvollzug earlier in the week, allowing One‑Dyas to proceed from a Dutch platform with directional drilling toward German seabed roughly 23 kilometers off the island.
• Power for the platform is planned via a cable from the Riffgat wind farm through protected seabed biotopes, a route green‑lit by the NLWKN and recently allowed to proceed by the Higher Administrative Court in Lüneburg.
• Greenpeace released a legal opinion by lawyer Roda Verheyen arguing the binational treaty enabling the project violates the Paris Agreement and Germany’s Basic Law and requires approval by both Bundestag and Bundesrat, as DUH and local authorities pursue further lawsuits.
