Climate Change Protester Ties Herself to Net During French Open Semifinal

Happened across some info about climate activism, I saw the pic of the same girl so I believe her protest was funded in some way by the following:
Climate Emergency Fund
https://archive.ph/gOBHW Venture Philanthropy for the Climate Emergency Movement: Funding Transformative Startups
We are looking for breakthroughs. We take risks, investing in young, scalable, and ultra-ambitious, people-powered organizations.
The climate emergency movement burst onto the scene in 2019 with Extinction Rebellion, the Sunrise Movement, school strikers, and climate emergency declarations.
The climate emergency movement is distinct from the gradualist, institutionalized environmental and climate movement that has been dominant for decades. It tells the truth about the emergency, demands rapid, transformational change, and utilizes a range of tactics, including disruption and high-stakes civil disobedience.
This emerging movement is brand new. Within it, agile and effective non-profit “startups” are growing rapidly. This nascent climate emergency movement has already been vastly more successful at inspiring the public and changing the policy conversation than gradualism, and for a fraction of the cost. The Sunrise Movement, Extinction Rebellion, and school strikes were all less than 2 years old in 2019 when they changed the global conversation.

Worth a mention:
https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ ... ne.318664/ That tie in has to do with APCO, which took over Global Philanthropy Group (founded by Neilson), that particular thread crosses paths Frank Giustra at some point, which I'm not expounding on here atm.
