Ep01 | A reality check on climate justice ahead of COP27

*Drumroll please!* The first Europe Climate Connection episode launches with a deep dive into climate justice. With the 2022 global climate summit - COP27 - just around the corner, CAN Europe co-hosts Rachel Brabbins and Olivia Saxer chat to Rebecca Thissen from Belgian organisation CNCD 11.11.11. Fresh from an eye-opening trip from Senegal, Rebecca speaks about how frontline communities in the country are being hit by climate impacts such as desertification and floods they are not responsible for, why polluters must pay up for climate losses and damages. She also shares some good news from Belgium and Denmark who are already paving the way for improved climate finance. All eyes are now on the climate summit in Egypt and a hope that wealthy countries make big strides in their commitments and pledges on “Loss and Damage”.
