Bon Gibalay, a youth leader from Bohol, Philippines, who attended the protest added: “For far too long communities like mine have weathered climate impact after climate impact, while companies like Shell continue to profit from fueling the climate crisis.
Commenting on the protest art installation Greenpeace UK’s climate campaigner Maja Darlington said: “The world is near breaking point and it is oil and gas giants like Shell, who pocket tens of billions every year from burning fossil fuels that drive this climate chaos, that are to blame.
Greenpeace activists built and then destroyed a protest art installation about climate loss displaying the once-cherished belongings of Filipino communities that were wrecked by climate-charged typhoons that have struck the Philippines.
“As well as shining a spotlight on Shell’s culpability, this haunting piece of protest art - and the once-cherished dolls, shoes, sofa and rice cookers being displayed - highlights the very real devastation experienced by communities in the Philippines, one of the most climate-impacted countries on earth.
“By delivering these precious possessions, damaged and destroyed by typhoons supercharged by the climate crisis, from the Philippines directly by the doors of Shell, we demand accountability from major polluters and justice for all the loss and damage they have caused.”.
