CHEMNITZ (dpa-AFX) - Activists from the group Letzte Generation have sprayed paint on a Deutsche Bank building in Chemnitz, Saxony. The activists were outraged that Deutsche Bank was still pouring money into the fossil fuel industry this year, the group said Thursday. On a banner, they called for the convening of a social council to develop effective and socially just mechanisms for CO2 reduction.

"Although it is clear to the international community that drawing the climate tipping points will push us into a deadly global hot spell, emissions continue to rise unchecked," they said in a statement. Current global climate policies, it said, mean that in the future, more and more people will no longer be able to live in their current homes./djj/DP/zb
