Four American climate activists have been kicked out of the COP27 UN climate talks in Egypt after protesting during US President Biden’s speech on Friday
Four American climate activists have been kicked out of the COP27 UN climate talks in Egypt after protesting during US President Joe Biden’s speech on Friday. The group briefly interrupted Biden’s speech with what they described as an indigenous war cry, then unfurled a banner which read “People vs Fossil Fuels.” While Biden appeared mostly unfazed by the protest – pausing for a short moment before resuming his address – the four activists faced consequences.
At COP25 in Madrid in 2019, tens of thousands of protesters filled the city center, just as they had the year before in the Polish city of Katowice, the host of COP24. But at this year’s iteration of the summit, protesters have mostly been sidelined into spaces far away from the negotiations.
