Ecology, COP26

The Left in the European Parliament brings together activists, scientists and progressive politicians from all over Europe to discuss ways to fight for climate justice after the unambitious climate summit in Glasgow.

 

After the COP26 in Glasgow, which turned out to in fact be a gigantic commercial event to boost the fossil fuel industry, the urgent question remains: how is climate justice attainable?
