Drone shows climate activists' huge protest poster near German castle

Activists from Germany's Koala Kollektiv climate justice group unveiled a 70 square metre protest poster near the country's best known castle early on Sunday, demanding an end to "fairytales."

Sunday's protest came as world leaders gather for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP27 in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

The 19th century Neuschwanstein castle in the Bavarian Alps on the border with Austria is commonly known as a "fairytale castle" and a popular tourist attraction in southern Germany.

In a written statement, Koala Kollektiv said their demand for climate justice was directed at the “political decision makers” gathered for COP 27 who needed to "act quickly and decisively to limit further global warming."
