Greenpeace activists scale the European Union’s new headquarters in Brussels and unfurled a huge banner warning of a “climate emergency,” hours before the bloc’s leaders gather for a summit focused on plans to combat global warming.
Climate activists stand in the scaffolding of the Europa building and unfurl a banner outside of an EU summit meeting in Brussels, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019.
Around 30 environmental activists clad in red and wearing climbing gear stood on ledges of the Europa building as police gathered below and a helicopter circled overhead. Some fired red flares into the air as curious commuters watched on. The EU leaders are set to debate ways for the 28-nation bloc to become carbon neutral by 2050. But poorer coal-dependent nations fear they could be hardest hit by the effort to transform their energy sources.
He acknowledged that it’s important to go carbon neutral, but said the leaders should not “leave it to future generations to take actions. They are in power today, they need to take action today.”
