Outcome of the COP26 in Glasgow (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. For me, this COP was a conference of good intentions. We've heard new long-term plans from the biggest CO2 emitters, promises to end rainforest deforestation or reduce methane emissions. This basically shows that the Paris mechanism of renewing the goals every five years under the eyes of the world public works very well. But whether there really is more climate…

Situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, They say yes: Where there is smoke, there is also fire, and the current situation makes it very, very clear that the ethnic division in Bosnia-Herzegovina is far from over. No, the worlds of experience – including those of young people – are still very separate. They consume different media, they go to different schools. Instead of caring about building a soc…

Farm to Fork Strategy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, What we eat and how we produce it has a direct impact on human, environmental and animal health. The European Commission has recognised the impact of intensive farming on precisely this, with the Farm to Fork Strategy, and as the European Parliament we must stand behind these ambitions – to reduce the use of pesticides, antibiotics and fertilisers, to strengt…

This day was later referred to as ‘the…

Presentation of the Fit for 55 package after the publication of the IPCC report (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. With the Fit for 55 package, we can get fit for Paris. We can also bring to life the 'at least' in 'at least 55% by 2030', as much bigger and faster steps are needed by 2030. Protecting our soils and forests better and restoring them to good condition will be crucial. However, the climate performance of bogs, forests and meadows is not a panacea. The forestry an…

General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. To describe the Green Deal, the image of the watermelon fits quite well: Green on the outside and red on the inside. At first glance, it is about climate goals, species protection, air pollution. But a look under the shell shows: It is also about social progress. Our economies are closely linked to climate change, species extinction and pollution. At the same ti…
