In Innsbruck the “Last Generation” once again drew attention to itself with an action on Monday. Climate activists targeted the university and, among other things, doused a staircase there with orange paint. The criticism is again aimed particularly at politics.
“The Last Generation interrupted everyday study life and covered the stairs of the main building of the University of Innsbruck with orange paint to point out that continuing fossil fuels as before threatens all of our survival and people have to wake up,” says a broadcast from the Last Generation. 🦺 University of Innsbruck filled with color! The last generation is committed to ensuring that the knowledge that is taught every day at the universities is taken seriously. Now we have to take responsibility, especially in politics. pic.twitter.com/6MSOfFvR8H— Last Generation Austria (@lassengenAT) March 11, 2024 “Science is ignored” The activists would work as part of the “Student Revolution” to ensure “that the knowledge that is taught at universities every day , is also taken seriously.” Under the motto “Science is ignored,” attention is drawn to “the fact that the responsibility that comes with knowledge must also be taken on. Both in society, but especially in politics.” This is not the first time that Innsbruck University has been targeted by climate activists. Last fall, the last generation confessed to graffiti in the area of the university library.
