“Maybe the fault of lack of ambition, the fault of reluctance, perhaps even the fault of language”, Alice Necarato regrets it. We talked about this a lot during this COP. We ask the states, we suppress them, we advise them. We can see that this is actually quite sneaky language, at a time when we don’t have time to take half measures, there is a climate emergency.”

“There’s bad weather, floods, storms, droughts. There’s really all we need to do is get all the states to agree to bring this climate justice to life.”

“There are some interesting points. We can’t say it’s all black. For example, the fact of writing in black and white that we have to run out of fossil fuels. This was never written in a text around the COP There is still reason to be hopeful, but we are far from the target.”, she concludes.
