Greta Thunberg banned from Venice after dying Grand Canal green in COP30 protest
Greta Thunberg and 35 Extinction Rebellion activists received 48-hour bans and fines after dyeing Venice's Grand Canal green to protest Italy's COP30 fossil fuel stance.

- COP30 leaders agreed to a deal that did not mention fossil fuels while increasing funding for poorer countries to adapt, and André Corrêa do Lago, COP30 President, confirmed the absent fossil-fuel roadmap would be a separate, non-binding proposal backed by more than 80 countries.
