LNG Summit

Call for action

From December 9 to 12, the international gas lobby will meet at the “World LNG Summit and Awards” in the luxury Adlon Hotel at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to celebrate their climate destruction. However, we will not let these fossil fuel companies destroy our environment and common livelihoods for their billions in profits, but will oppose their greenwashing. We want to disrupt and block this gas summit with a variety of actions and stand together for a renewable, affordable and climate-friendly future.

At this gas summit, multinational corporations are trying to use lobbying and targeted disinformation to establish fossil gas as a so-called “bridge technology” to renewable energies. But this narrative could not be more deceptive. Greenhouse gas emissions from gas as a whole are comparable or even significantly worse than emissions from dirty coal-fired power. The further expansion of fossil gas infrastructure simply makes it impossible to meet the Paris climate targets. Fracked gas is particularly harmful – both for the global climate and for the local environment! Indigenous people, people of color and the population of the global South are particularly affected. Their livelihoods and those of all of us are being sacrificed to the profit interests of a few corporations.

Oil and gas companies are exploiting current crises and attempting to expand their profits gained through exploitation by exerting targeted influence on political decisions and public discourse. They use their billions in profits in times of exploding heating costs and inflation to organize expensive lobby events for managers in the german government district.

Despite all the scientific evidence, decades of protest and the increasingly tangible climate crisis, the global gas lobby is meeting in Berlin this year to conclude new deals and present each other with the “World LNG Awards” – prizes for their environmental destruction.

We will stand togehter on the steets against this fossil fuel shitshow. We will turn their champagne party into a public debacle! Instead of the fossil industry backroom party, we will bring protest and determined resistance to the heart of Berlin! We are turning the time of the LNG Summit into our days of action: with many smaller actions and a publicly announced mass action, we want to at least briefly interrupt the fossil fuel madness and show that even after decades of failed climate policy, it is still not too late to change course.

Take Action

Bring your friends to Berlin and join our actions. Join us in taking a stand against fossil gas, the expansion of LNG terminals and exploitation by neo-colonial structures. The last action trainings and action plenaries will take place on Monday, December 9th at 5 pm at 5 pm at FMP1, Franz-Mehring-Platz 1, 10243 Berlin-Friedrichshain. You can also find affinity groups here if you don’t have one yet. You can find more trainings and events here.

We have agreed on a common action consensus for the actions. Different groups will participate in the mass action and promote their actions independently. For more information, you can check out the following websites:
