On March 1, Germany’s climate activist group Fridays for Future (FFF) will be joining forces with the trade union Verdi to demonstrate for climate action and better working conditions in public transport. This alliance has already been tried and tested, but it is also an attempt to reach more people and win back sympathy. The Last Generation group is taking a different approach: It has called for „disobedience rallies“ in various German cities on March 16. These different dates and approaches show that the German climate movement is divided – and is looking for new strategies.
