The blockade consisted of eight activists, while climbers on top of one of the facility’s silos unfurled a banner with the words “Shell, stop burning our future.”

The non-violent direct action escalates a week of lone protests by climate-impacted communities at the Philippine headquarters of Shell in Taguig City to demand climate justice from fossil fuel companies. For four straight days, Shell refused to speak to the communities outside the building.

The action also comes ahead of the youth climate strikes, which transpire until September 27. Millions of people around the world, including thousands from the Philippines, will participate in youth-led strikes to demand transformative action to address the climate crisis ahead of the UN Climate Summit in New York City on September 23. Greenpeace is calling on all Filipinos participating in the climate strikes to sound the alarm for climate justice by simultaneously ringing alarms at 2:00 PM
