Friday for Future (FFF):

FFF is a youth-led and -organised global climate strike movement that started in August 2018, when Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate.
Goals:
- The goal of the movement is to put moral pressure on policymakers, to make them listen to the scientists, and then to take forceful action to limit global warming.
- This movement is independent of commercial interests and political parties and knows no borders.

Extinction Rebellion (XR):

It is a UK-founded global environmental movement, with the stated aim of using nonviolent civil disobedience to compel government action to avoid tipping points in the climate system, biodiversity loss, and the risk of social and ecological collapse.
It was established in Stroud (the U.K.) in May 2018 by Gail Bradbrook,[Simon Bramwell, and Roger Hallam, along with eight other co-founders from the campaign group Rising Up!

Just Stop Oil:

It is a British environmental activist group.
Using civil resistance, direct action, vandalism and traffic obstruction, the group aims for the British government to commit to ending new fossil fuel licensing and production.
Founded in February 2022 and began protesting at English oil terminals in April 2022.
The group has received particular attention, positive and negative, for its methods of activism.

Last Generation:

The Last Generation is a group of climate change activists mostly active in Germany, Italy, and Austria.
It describes itself as an “alliance” and was formed in 2021 from participants in the Hungerstreik der letzten Generation (“last generation hunger strike”).
The term was chosen because they considered themselves to be the last generation before tipping points in the earth’s climate system would be reached.
Goal: To promote a generational collective initiative to protect our earth, and to build a more substantial future, through popularizing reaching out to policy makers, maintaining an open forum to discuss issues pertinent to marginalized communities, and by enforcing these ideals through motivating students to delegitimize the stereotype that they are too young to make a tangible change to our society.
They have staged direct non-violent actions including numerous road blockades and using paint to vandalise yachts, notorious paintings, buildings, restaurants and private jets.
