Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. A transition towards a climate neutral society is necessary. However, the Netherlands are still lagging behind and are among the European countries with the lowest share in renewable energy. We do not have to wait for the national government taking actions: municipalities are responsible for 25 % of the Dutch carbon emissions. Wageningen is one of the leading municipalities in the energy transition, but more work needs to be done.
During this lunch lecture, Bas Eickhout, Member of the European Parliament, will tell about his work in the European Parliament and his commitment to fighting climate change. Moreover we will discuss how change can continue at local level and how we can work together towards a fair and climate neutral future in Wageningen.
