Anuna De Wever Instagram – Today, the president of Palau told other world leaders they “might as well bomb our islands instead of making us suffer, only to witness our slow and painful demise.”
This is what #COP26 should be about. The most affected people and areas who should have the biggest platform in the negotiations.
So far we have heard many speeches about ambition, but if we look at the set targets, we are going to a world of 3 degrees rise.
This means world leaders are fighting to create a world that will cross our carbon budget and leave future generations with a planet that becomes more and more inhabitable.
At the same time, Belgium has no federal agreement on a common target. it refuses to be a part of the high ambition coalition, spends 13 billion euros a year on fossil fuels and has absolutely zero credibility or willingness to put pressure on the international global targets.
I personally feel ashamed of our country for minimizing the climate crisis continuously and acting as if we are on track.
Don’t be fooled. We’re not on track.
We have a very long way to go.
