Greens/EFA podcast: An Unfiltered Conversation

Ten years ago world leaders were celebrating the climate agreement in Paris, but a lot has changed since then. Time to sit down with our climate expert MEPs Lena Schilling and Michael Bloss. How do they counter fossil fuel industries and European conservatives following Trump? How do they make them keep to their promises?

Our guests discuss how they see a way out by showing white old men like Trump, Merz and Marcon that people still care for the climate and that they are willing to work across borders to achieve that. That another world is possible. That giving up, because it is difficult, is not an option.
