Climate Action at Polish Lignite Mine

22 Greenpeace activists from 10 countries entered the vast open pit mine, Józwin IIB which belongs to the state company KWB, to mine lignite or 'brown coal'. They try to create a huge STOP sign next to a giant excavator, one of the largest lignite mines in Poland. The peaceful protest was physically interrupted by mine workers. More than 90% of energy in Poland is produced by burning coal making it one of the 20 biggest emitters of CO2 in the world.
