Ende Gelände 2017

Ende Gelände 2017 was a large civil disobedience protest movement in Germany to limit global warming through fossil fuel phase-out.

[1][2] 3000-6000 environmental activists from several countries blocked two German open-pit coal mines: On 15 August 2015, in the first year of Ende Gelände, 1500 activists blocked the Garzweiler surface mine owned by RWE (Ende Gelände 2015).

[5][6] On 13 to 15 May 2016, with Ende Gelände 2016, 4000 activists blocked the Welzow-Süd open-pit coal mine and the coal-fired Schwarze Pumpe power station, then owned by Vattenfall (Spremberg).
