Germany: Environmental activists to protest in Nuremberg Aug. 17

Event

Environmental activists associated with the Last Generation movement plan to conduct a protest in Nuremberg Aug. 17. Organizers have not indicated when, where, or in what form the demonstration will occur; however, Last Generation protestors have recently marched on or used adhesives to bind themselves to thoroughfares near city centers.

Transport disruptions and heightened security are possible at any protest location. Although the gathering will probably remain largely peaceful, low-level confrontations with police or drivers cannot be ruled out.

Context

Last Generation is a Germany-based environmental protest movement formed in 2021. Although their previous protests have generally been small, activists frequently employ strategies intended to maximize transport disruption.

Advice

Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Remain vigilant of sudden roadway obstructions.
