People in the streets, while Greenpeace activists climb the world-famous Paris landmark, the Arc de Triomphe, and hold a banner with the text “Mr Hollande renouvelez l’energie” (Mr Hollande Renewable Energy) as part of an activity carried out as the COP21 climate conference enters the closing stretch. In the meantime other activists spread non-polluting water-based paint in the streets to create a huge shining sun.

This action reminds politicians and governments that whatever they agree in Paris, the only credible way to beat climate change is to support and increase renewables energy systems.
