How have shifting public priorities in Germany, particularly regarding climate change, influenced the Last Generation's decision to change its approach and broaden its focus?

The Last Generation's change in tactics stems from a combination of factors. Their previous high-profile, disruptive protests, while raising awareness, failed to significantly shift policy despite 80% of Germans favoring stronger climate protection. Simultaneously, public anxieties have shifted from climate change to economic concerns like inflation and migration, influencing the electoral priorities of even the Green Party.

What factors beyond increased demand have contributed to the current firewood shortage in the region?

The high demand for firewood, driven by increased energy prices, has resulted in supply shortages across the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis region in Germany. This shortage is due to a combination of factors, including past over-harvesting, recent dry spells and damage to forests, and reduced logging to allow for forest regeneration. Municipalities like Taunusstein have seen order volumes increase drastically (from ~1000 cubic meters to ~3500 cubic meters) compared to previous years.
