INTERVIEW. Jill Peeters: “Abolish the climate summit? How are we ever going to save the climate?”

Even before the 27th climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh has started, according to some, it already seems to have failed. There is a lot of fuss about host country Egypt, which is not too big on human rights, and no major climate-saving breakthroughs are expected. Weather woman and climate expert Jill Peeters (47) is more positive. “If you start with the idea that it’s going to fail, you won’t get very far anyway. But I understand that many Flemish people are now more concerned with their energy bill.”
