Climate activists from student protest movement Fridays for Future (FfF) have said they will resist the planned expansion of a coal mine in western Germany that threatens the nearby town of L眉tzerath, news agency dpa reports in an carried by newspaper Die Welt. Energy company RWE 丑补诲听received the green light聽from a court earlier this week to go ahead with its contentious mine expansion. 鈥淲e call for defending L眉tzerath,鈥� FfF activists said at a protest near the Garzweiler lignite mine in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, announcing a major strike for 23 April. Destroying the village would deprive Germany of a chance to sticking to the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit [of the Paris Agreement], FfF鈥檚 Pauline B眉nger said. Environmental group Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) said policymakers in the state had to find a new consensus on mine expansion. BUND鈥檚 local representative Dirk Jansen called for a moratorium on expansion that would at least 鈥減revent the destruction of villages.鈥�

The court in M眉nster said in its ruling that lignite mining was compatible with the constitutional requirement to protect the climate and that coal from Garzweiler could not be replaced 鈥渨ithout great effort鈥� 鈥� if at all. The German government and energy companies last year signed a聽legal agreement聽to end lignite-based power generation in the country by 2038 鈥� a deadline Germany鈥檚 new government aims to "ideally"聽bring forward聽to 2030.
