Greenpeace Netherlands has placed an orange lifejacket on the iconic statue of Engineer Cornelis Lely on the Afsluitdijk (a major dam in the Netherlands), and a sign reading “Den Haag, keer het tij!” (The Hague Turn the Tide) on the day that new climate negotiations start.
With this symbolic action Greenpeace wants to emphasize that only a strong climate policy can turn the tide and tackle the climate crisis.
