Dynamic Events: EU Climate Emergency Declaration - 4th Global Climate Strike & COP25 in Madrid
Well, well the end of November and the first week of December kept some very important Events which are connected to the Fight against Climate Crisis. I have finnished my last article with hope to be a succesful and effective Global Climate Strike, but I have forgotten then a very important historical fact on that day the European Union declared the Climate Emergency officialy.
That means 400.000 million- 1 billion people, who live in Europe symbolicaly accepted the fact of the climate emergency. It doesn't matter where they are living punctual. This is a real Global Step. The participations in the European Parlament voted, that leaders and polticians confess to themselfs this situation is a real crisis.
- Commission must ensure all proposals are aligned with 1.5 °C target
- EU should cut emissions by 55% by 2030 to become climate neutral by 2050
- Calls to reduce global emissions from shipping and aviation
EU should commit to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the UN Conference, says Parliament.
With this good start we continued the Week with the IV. Global Climate Strike many students joined from all over the world and every continents. We have not know yet the number of the participate but in Budapest we were about 1-2 thousand on the Climate Strike. The weather was not very friendly and moody with a cold raining but it did not matter. And finally the older retired and active people started to join the strike with the children and students. And this created hope in my life too that, we want to change. I have met a very kind woman. She was a stranger. She wanted to make a photo herself and she asked me to take one with her mobile, and then we started to make connection and discussed the climate topic. She has the same age and same first name and then something miracle happened. I was not alone anymore and I think in the future we will meet on the next strike. We are not just walking and shouting on the strike. We are builting the Community that wants to make a change for our enviroment.
