EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday that ‘Europe will stay the course, and keep working with all nations that want to protect nature and stop global warming’
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addresses a session at the World Economic Forum annual meeting, in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21., with European leaders stating in no uncertain terms that they will hold fort and remain a part of the global climate pact.
Minutes before von der Leyen spoke, climate activists sprung a surprise and rare action inside the normally ultra-secure venue, unfurling a banner that read: “Tax the super-rich! Fund a just and green future.” In a session at Davos that looked at Europe’s transition to clean energy, Alexander De Croo, Belgium’s prime minister responded to Trump’s decision saying, “I mean, the world is full of uncertainty after yesterday even more, and maybe tomorrow there might be even more uncertainty. Let’s please, as Europeans within the European Union, not add to the uncertainty by creating ambiguity on our goals.”
