The group further demands a debt cut and payments to states of the Global South as compensation for climate change,[13] the introduction of a general speed limit of 100 km/h on the autobahn,[14][15][16] and a permanent 9-Euro-Ticket.

[17] In early 2023, the group declared the Democratic process to be unfit for dealing with the climate crisis and demanded the implementation of "Society councils" to work out emergency measures.

[18][19] In January 2024, the group announced that it would no longer stage road blockades, shifting instead to what it called "disobedient public assemblies" and increase protests at facilities such as oil pipelines, energy company headquarters and airports.

[34][35] In October 2022, two Last Generation activists threw mashed potatoes at a Monet painting behind glass, titled Haystacks, part of a collection founded by Hasso Plattner, a German billionaire, at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany.

[38] In November 2022, the Last Generation threw soup at 'The Sower' by Vincent van Gogh, also behind glass, at the Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, Italy.

[46] In April 2023, the group protested at the Berlin ePrix, a Formula E electric car race, by gluing themselves to the track and support vehicles right before the start.

[47] That same month, the use by police of pain compliance techniques to disperse a Letzte Generation road blockade came under public and legal scrutiny in Germany.

[48][8] In May 2023, Letzte Generation spray-painted a Piper PA-23 'Aztec' private airplane at Berlin airport,[49][50] causing an estimated 72,000 euros worth of damage to the aircraft.

The group had previously poured charcoal-based liquid into the Trevi Fountain in Rome and glued themselves to a piece of art in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

[53] In June 2023, shortly after an announcement by the group that it would soon carry out a string of actions specifically targeting "the rich", who in their view contributed overproportionately to climate change,[54] sprayed orange paint onto a private jet (reported as make Cessna CJ1) in Sylt,[55] as well as several buildings.

[57] Two activists from the Last Generation group in Italy were detained in 13 February 2024 after they stuck several photographs of flooding on Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus displayed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

[60] On 18 May 2024, six climate activists entered Munich Airport using bolt cutters to cut through the fence in two locations,[61] and glued themselves to the access routes leading to runways.

[62] In August 2024, Last Generation Austria announced in a letter to its supporters that it would dissolve, saying that it no longer saw a "perspective of success" and accusing the government of having acted the previous two years with "complete incompetence" in climate protection matters.

[2][63] On 6 November 2024, Last Generation activists sprayed the Tour TotalEnergies building in Berlin-Moabit, where the energy company of the same name has its German headquarters, with orange paint.

[74] In July 2024, a female 32-year-old activist was sentenced to 16 months in jail for participation in five street blockades, and spray-painting of the main office of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport and an outlet of luxury fashion house Gucci.

Early on in the proceedings, which began in November 2023, the court had made a plea bargain proposal under which a one-year suspended prison sentence was offered to the man in exchange for a confession, but the defence had not agreed to this.

[85] In 2023, an investigation led by Bavaria's central office for combating extremism and terrorism claimed that the group was using its website to raise funds for illicit activities, reportedly collecting over €1.4 million.

Two members of the group also faced accusations of planning an attack on an oil pipeline in Bavaria, according to reports by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

Some politicians spoke about a "Climate-RAF" or "Green RAF", the acronym referring to German post-war terrorist group Red Army Faction.
