Climate activist Greta Thunberg discussed EU plans to tackle the climate emergency with Parliament’s environment committee on Wednesday 4 March. The climate activist was at the Parliament to discuss the Climate Law, a proposal seeking to commit the EU to carbon neutrality by 2050. Addressing the committee, Thunberg criticised the proposal as insufficient: “The EU must lead the way. You have the moral obligation to do so and you have a unique economical and political opportunity to become a real climate leader. You, yourselves, declared that we are in a climate and environment emergency. You said this was an existential threat. Now you must prove that you mean it.” It is vital to follow “ a science-based pathway”. “Anything else is surrender,” she said. “This climate law is surrender because nature doesn’t bargain and you cannot make deals with physics.” Introducing her, environment committee chair Pascal Canfin said: “Everyone has their role to play in this. I am deeply convinced that what we need is the energy of our young people. No society is transformed, no society can respond to the kind of challenges we face on climate if we do not take on board the energy coming from our young people. And you embody that.”

Table ronde : « Dilemmes éthiques de l’activisme environnemental »

Le dérèglement climatique bouleverse nos sociétés et fait naître de nouvelles formes d'engagement, des interrogations inédites sur nos responsabilités collectives, ainsi que des solutions technologiques parfois longuement discutées.
Comment agir vite sans renoncer aux principes démocratiques ? Peut-on innover tout en respectant les équilibres écologiques ? Faut-il regarder la réalité climatique en face au risque de décourager l'action ?
