Ende Gelände 2020 was a mass action of civil disobedience of the wider movement for climate justice from 25 to 27 September 2020 in Rhineland, Germany, close to Cologne.^[1] It protested against Germany's climate politics, because it "is a complete failure and makes it impossible to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees.^[2] For the first time a protest against natural gas was included.^[3]

The "hygiene concept" was necessary because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participant numbers were limited and dispersed among various smaller camps as opposed to the usual single large camp, in order to limit the size of gatherings.^[4] Organizers created an anonymized contact tracing system that allowed for public health protection while shielding the names of participants.^[5]

Actions taken by the around 3000 protesters included the blockading of coal mines, train tracks transporting coal, the construction of a gas pipeline, as well as the operations of a gas power plant and a coal power plant. The action in 2020 was the first time Ende Gelände protesters targeted fossil gas infrastructure as part of a conscious effort to emphasize the message that fossil gas is not a sustainable substitute for coal power.^[5]
