Action at Map Ta Phut Coal Plant VNR

Greenpeace activists climb a crane on the construction site of the proposed 1,434 MW coal fired power station and unfurl a banner reading 'CLIMATE KILLS' in Thai and English. Greenpeace is demanding the plant's immediate closure, calling on the Thai government to phase out coal power and to commit to renewable energy. The activity is part of an international protest by Greenpeace against new coal power plants in South East Asia region and a direct message to the climate talks currently taking place in Montreal. The Rainbow Warrior is on a 10-week tour of Asia, stopping in a number of countries including Hong Kong, The Philippines and Thailand. The tour aims to alert people to the dangers of climate change and to expose its impacts.
