A police van during an action where Greenpeace activists have created a solar symbol around the world-famous Paris landmark, the Arc de Triomphe, by painting the roads yellow with non-polluting water-based paint to reveal the image of a huge shining sun.

The activity is carried out as the COP21 climate conference enters the closing stretch.

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.
