During the week, the protest campaign will focus on several "blockades" of key sites across the city, likely resulting is significant disruption. The campaign will explicitly target the oil and gas sector, both state and privately owned. In Oslo, Norway, XR will hold a "Nordic Rebellion" from 22-29 August in an effort to hold the largest mass action week in Scandinavia to date.These numbers are likely to grow as the event approaches. At present, over 350 people have stated they will attend the "Impossible Rebellion" on 23 August, with 400 more expressing interest. XR's Money Rebellion has been particularly active in the UK over the last six months, progressing to acts of vandalism when activists smashed windows at the London head offices of HSBC and Barclays in March. XR singled out the "city of London" as the target of the action, raising the prospect of demonstrations near the central London offices of financial sector firms with perceived links to the fossil fuel industry. The central action will begin at 1000 hours in Trafalgar Square, London, with other unspecified events scheduled to take place in the following two weeks. In the United Kingdom, XR plans to launch the "Impossible Rebellion" on 23 August.Direct action at Schiphol Airport (AMS) is also possible, given the group's propensity to target the airport in the past, which would increase the risk of travel disruption. The group opposes the construction of a new distribution centre in Amsterdam, which may become a target of "die-ins" and other stunts. The Climate Camp will be less formal than a traditional "Rebellion" event, though spontaneous protests are likely to accompany planned training workshops and live music events. The organisers aim to revive attendance after a year of Covid restrictions, whilst conforming to local rules on mass gatherings.
In the Netherlands, XR will host a "Climate Camp" ("Klimaatkamp") event from 11-15 August in Lutkemeer, Amsterdam.Financial and oil sectors likely to be prominent targets As part of the August campaign, the group has planned significant action in Oslo (Norway) and Berlin (Germany) to last several days, known as the "Nordic" and "Central" Rebellions. The environmentalist activist group Extinction Rebellion (XR) will hold various "Rebellions" this month in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom.
