Brussels, my love? As the planet heats up, is political momentum cooling down?

We are joined by the Belgian influencer and climate activist Adelaide Charlier, Green MEP Virginijus Sinkevičius, and former broadcaster Damien O Reilly who currently fronts the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society in Brussels.

The panel react to the fact that whilst scientists warn the planet is heating up, climate policies seem to be cooling down.

Damien O Reilly said the climate breakdown was the biggest existential threat to humanity.

We're all in this together and farmers are at the front line.

Virginijus Sinkevičius - who was the commissioner in charge of the environment in the previous mandate when addressing climate change was a top political priority - said it is normal to have to adapt to the realities of daily life.

"We have had Covid, we've had Russia's invasion into Ukraine, which brought a lot of consequences", he said.

"We have a US administration which every day produces a different headache."
