Greta Thunberg joins protesters from Fossil Free London outside the InterContinental in central London, to demonstrate ahead of the Energy Intelligence Forum, a gathering between Shell, Total, Equinor, Saudi Aramco, and other oil giants, October 17, 2023

CLIMATE activist Greta Thunberg was arrested along with 20 other protesters outside a central London hotel today in an action to disrupt the Energy Intelligence Forum.

The InterContinental London hotel near Hyde Park was hosting the heads of major oil and gas companies at the event.

Fossil Free London, which organised the protest, hit out at the companies for deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profits.
