The Last Generation's New Beginning

The climate group Last Generation is undergoing a transformation, aiming to redefine both its name and strategy. Spearheaded by co-founder Carla Hinrichs, the group plans to shift away from its past controversial methods, such as traffic blockades, which drew legal consequences but no extremist labels.

Moving forward, they aspire to foster connections and prepare for impending crises. Their mission is to rally thousands to support a peaceful democratic system during crucial moments.

Originating from a climate hunger strike in Berlin, the group once saw itself as the final barrier before climate tipping points. However, they now acknowledge a deeper entrenchment in the climate crisis and seek broader objectives under a new identity.

This reimagined entity will prioritize mutual security, social justice, and cohesion. While protests remain integral, the emphasis will be on diverse and creative forms of advocacy.

The Last Generation envisions this evolution as a necessary step towards a more inclusive and impactful climate movement.
