Climate activists turn Trevi Fountain black in protest against fossil fuels.

Climate activists poured "vegetable charcoal" into Rome's Trevi Fountain to protest against fossil fuels and demand an "immediate stop" to fossil fuel subsidies. The protest was linked to the recent floods that devastated northern Italy's Emilia Romagna region, which killed at least 14 people and caused thousands to evacuate their homes. The World Meteorological Organization's announcement that the planet is more likely than ever to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming compared with pre-industrial times within the next five years also influenced the protest. No damage was committed to the fountain, according to the activist group Ultima Generazione.
