NETHERLANDS: Climate protests under the pandemic

Under the pandemic, activists in the Netherlands gathered over a thousand shoes from around the country and placed them outside the country’s parliament in a show of continuing support for climate action. When restrictions had eased somewhat in September, Dutch Extinction Rebellion activists took the opportunity to hold a series of protests in Amsterdam, including a road blockade and a protest inside a clothing store, focused on fast fashion’s contribution to climate change and the forced labour of China’s Uighur people in garment factories.
