How could Europe help us make our home a better place? by The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament

Following President Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement, we sat down with Bas Eickhout, Green spokesperson on climate change, to discuss what this decision will mean for the fight against climate change. European leaders have rightly condemned Trump’s decision, but are they doing enough to deliver against their own Paris promises? We also take a look ahead to the next big UN climate conference, COP 23, which will be help in Bonn in November.

On 14th February the European Parliament will take a position on the revision of the European emissions trading system (so-called EU ETS). This vote is crucial as it will be the first real test to see whether the EU Parliament is committed to honour the Paris agreement made at the COP21 in December 2015. In this podcast we ask Green Member Bas Eickhout what exactly is at stake and what the Greens in the Parliament are asking for.

In 2013, Green Member of the European Parliament Bas Eickhout was co-author of European legislation to reduce the use of F-gases, extremely powerful greenhouse gases. Recent research shows that the legislation has a positive effect on the green economy in Europe in contradiction to warnings by lobbyists and now the legislation is copied across the world.

Et si montrer des solutions, raconter une histoire qui fait du bien, était la meilleure façon de résoudre les crises écologiques, économiques et sociales, que traversent nos pays ? En mettant bout à bout ces initiatives positives et concrètes qui fonctionnent déjà, les réalisateurs du film commencent à voir émerger ce que pourrait être le monde de demain…

The film takes a positive approach to talk about the challenges that we are facing today. Its main focus is put on the actors of change and the solutions that are already under way everywhere on the planet. The film shows that a different world is possible but most importantly that it’s already happening.
