The latest from Arte Weekly: Environmental activists across Europe face harsher punishment for protests

Wildfires, intense flooding and extreme weather caused by climate change are now regular occurrences in Europe. Environmental activists are ramping up their protests in response – at the risk of arrest, fines and being branded ‘ecoterrorists’ by European governments.

This weekly News programme is produced by the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE and made available in 8 languages through a European media partnership formed by El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE), Telex (HU) in coordination with ARTE. The project has been made possible with EU funding within the framework of the „European Media Platforms” preparatory action.
