NOW: Hundreds of people disrupt high-level fossil lobby event #EuropeanGasConference in Vienna, blocking access roads to the venue.

At the conference, fossil fuel corporations meet investors & political representatives to decide on major energy projects. #BlockGas #endgas 1/x

Protesters taking the streets around the #EuropeanGasConference demand an end to the destructive fossil projects being planned behind closed doors at the EGC and call for comprehensive changes in order to create a just energy system. #EndGas #BlockGas #w2703 2/x

The corporations and investors meeting at the #EuropeanGasConference are wrecking our climate and chaining us to an energy system that means high energy bills for the many but only high profits for themselves. #endgas #blockgas #w2703 3/x (C) Max Sabitzer

Many of the gas projects discussed at the #EuropeanGasConference concern countries in the Global South.

“African land is not a gas station!" That's what comrades from @DontGasAfrica say, who are visiting Vienna because of the EGC. #blockgas #nogas #w2703 (C) Franz Hagmann 4/x

One of the worst at the #EuropeanGasConference: #BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with 8.6 trillion USD under management.

Pension funds & other investors give their money to BlackRock, who invests it in expanding fossil gas infrastructure #blockgas 5/x (C) M Sabitzer

Today marks the beginning of the end of this fossil gas madness. This must be the last European Gas Conference! We will reclaim the power! #BlockGas #EndGas #w2703 6/6
