Wielding brooms and carrying cleaning supplies, a group of activists symbolically cleaned the facade of a branch of Swiss bank UBS in Zurich on Wednesday to protest against its fossil fuel investments.

Anais Tilquin was among the 20 activists from Scientist Rebellion, an international environmentalist group calling for immediate action against climate change, to take part in the protest in Switzerland's financial hub.

"We absolutely need to stop using fossil fuel as quickly as possible. Right now, these banks like UBS are still financing the extraction of new oil and gas and the expansion of new oil and gas all the time." "Switzerland should start investing only in renewable energy, draw a real plan how to get rid of fossil fuels and also, in this case ... stop helping these banks," said activist and neurobiologist Jan Wintgens, referring to UBS's takeover of Credit Suisse.
