Victory in the campaign for victims of the climate crisis

date:  23/05/2024

Belgian Pact Ambassador Benjamin van Bunderen Robberechts celebrated a victory as his #ClimateJusticeForRosa campaign has resulted in a day of commemoration for the victims of the climate crisis. The day will be recognised on 15 July, making Belgium the first country to align with the EU day honouring those affected by the climate crisis. 

“July 15th isn't just about remembering those we've lost, it's a call to action, urging us to honour their lives by preventing loss of countless more lives,” Benjamin explains.
