Greenpeace organised an action against the climate crisis in Madrid
A Greenpeace activist walked on a cable 30 metres high to raise awareness about the climate crisis
In the plaza de España de Madrid, a Greenpeace activist drew all eyes by defying gravity: he walked on a cable suspended 30 metres between two buildings. The daring feat forced traffic to be temporarily halted while spectators held their breath below.
The action aims to highlight the opening of COP30, which begins this Monday in Belém, Brazil. With this symbolic gesture, Greenpeace warns that the planet is in a fragile balance: global warming continues unabated and international commitments to curb climate change are facing their most critical moment since the Acuerdo de París in 2015.
The act combines risk and message: each step on the cable symbolises the planet’s delicate situation, reminding us that there is still time to act if governments and citizens join forces to protect life above economic interests.
