Anuna De Wever Instagram – Will Belgium once again fail to demonstrate climate leadership? 🤦🏼♀️ #COP26
The COP is the biggest climate conference in the world, and the 26th edition is kicking off this Sunday in Glasgow.
In 2018 at COP24, Belgium refused to sign what was called a ‘high ambition coalition’. Basically, they failed to commit to the bare minimum of ambition in the fight against the climate crisis.
This time around,Belgian policy-makers are expected to once again fail to deliver. Why?
Because the Flemish government refuses to step up their game, and meet EU’s climate targets by 2030 and 2050.
This is why our country won’t have a national agreement to show at the upcoming COP, on how we will take responsibility in fighting the climate crisis.
This is extremely alarming, as we are running out of time and this is one of the last international collaboration moments, where we will be able to make a significant change.
Tomorrow, we are leaving for COP26 with a delegation of ten young people from the @youth.for.climate movement.
We must be there to make noise, to hold our leaders accountable and to defend the only way out of a catastrophic future: real, conscious climate leadership.
