Greta Thunberg, the young Swedish activist and activist, will participate in the weekly meeting of the European Commission on Wednesday, on the occasion of the presentation of the climate law. An invitation from Ursula von der Leyen while the European authorities are closed to everyone because of the coronavirus. This text engraves in stone the climatic objectives of Europe. But the presence of the young teenager can also be seen as a guarantee for a law that does not go far enough. Environmentalists hope that the presence of Greta Thunberge will help convince elected officials.

"Not a law up to the stakes"
"The climate law that is presented to us inscribes in the law the fact that we want to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050 but it is not yet a law up to the challenges since it is in the ten years that come we must completely transform our model of society, "explains Marie Toussaint, deputy ecologist. "However, there is nothing, or very little, towards the 2030 objectives within this climate law."
"We hope that the presence of Greta will push the commission to act more and act faster," said the MP. "Some may use his presence as a stooge. But I think Greta Thunberg is not satisfied with words that are not followed by action."
