Greenpeace Calls on G7 to Lead Climate Action, Activists Protest at Summit
Near the Giardini Naxos beach at Taormina, activists sailing on eight kayaks unfurled flags and banners with the message 'Planet Earth first'. The activists also unveiled on the shore a four-meter-high Statue of Liberty covered with a life jacket to symbolise the threat that climate change and rising seas pose.
Greenpeace is calling on the G7 leaders to rapidly implement the Paris Climate Agreement, a generation-defining pact signed by nearly 200 countries, and to resolutely move forward despite the threats of US President Trump to abandon the agreement.
