Activists Target IMO Environment Talks
Tuesday October 20, 2020
Ocean Rebellion activists along with other environmentalists targeted the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) talks in London yesterday.
A slogan [pictured] was projected on to the Japanese Embassy to "highlight the country's complicity in the lack of legislation to protect the environment", a spokesperson for the group said.
The group's name echoes that of Extinction Rebellion but is focused on maritime issues.
It has recently mounted similar publicity-generating actions against cruise ships moored off the UK's southern coast.
The IMO's Inter-sessional Working Group On Greenhouse Gas Emissions is meeting online this week.
