(ANSA) - LONDON, AUGUST 31 - Greta Thunberg's green "turning point" of the local government raises many more doubts than certainties. The young Swedish environmentalist, in an interview with BBC Scotland, was rather cold about the 'green' credentials claimed by the executive of the independence leader Nicola Sturgeon, even after the coalition established for the new legislature with the Scottish Greens.
"Some politicians are less worse than others," the 18-year-old activist commented on the deal, which comes within two months of COP26, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change scheduled for November 1-12 in Glasgow. And he added that it is not enough to vote for an environmental party, although it is "a sign of hope that people want something more 'green'.- whatever green means ".
A more systematic approach to climate change is therefore needed. Previously, the Edinburgh government had described its legislation in this area as being at the forefront of the world. Among the objectives is to reach zero emissions by 2045. In addition to underlining her perplexities, Greta also stated that she is not entirely sure about her presence at COP26. He wants to first make sure that participants from poorer countries are vaccinated against covid and able to travel. (HANDLE).
