Tens Of Thousands Urge European Union For Climate Action
Tens of thousands of people marched through the Belgian capital Brussels on Sunday to urge EU leaders for stronger action to tackle climate change.
Record-breaking temperatures and consecutive heatwaves across Europe this summer have heightened concerns about the impacts of human-induced climate change on the continent.
Belgium, like many other European countries, has seen an unprecendented rise in excess deaths during these extreme heatwaves.
President of the Green Party in Flanders and Brussels, Aimen Horch, told Euronews that climate demands have remained unchanged, however the sense of urgency to take action has never been greater.
