Brussels, my love? As the planet heats up, is political momentum cooling down?

ADVERTISEMENT We are joined by the Belgian influencer and climate activist Adelaide Charlier, Green MEP Virginijus Sinkevičius, and former broadcaster Damien O Reilly who currently fronts the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society in Brussels. The panel react to the fact that whilst scientists warn the planet is heating up, climate policies seem to be cooling down. Damien O Reilly said the climate breakdown was the biggest existential threat to humanity. We're all in this together and farmers are at the front line. Damien O'Reilly Director of the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society Virginijus Sinkevičius - who was the commissioner in charge of the environment in the previous mandate when addressing climate change was a top political priority - said it is normal to have to adapt to the realities of daily life. "We have had Covid, we've had Russia's invasion into Ukraine, which brought a lot of consequences", he said. "We have a US administration which every day produces a different headache."
