SUMMARY
ECOSPORT will be a Youth Exchange where we will speak about how the world is experiencing a “climate and ecological emergency,” and why the European Parliament proclaimed, a symbolic move for the bloc days before negotiators gather for a global climate summit in Madrid.
Adopted during a plenary session in Strasbourg, the Parliament’s resolution “declares a climate and environment emergency; calls on the Commission, the Member States and all global actors, and declares its own commitment, to urgently take the concrete action needed in order to fight and contain this threat before it is too late.”
That is raising the importance of taking care of our carbon footprint that are the emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. And also to raise the importance of the promotions and creation of an ecological and sustainable labour market.
