Last night @ Lekker GEC, we had the pleasure of hosting a warm and engaging Pact Community Cafe in collaboration with EU Climate Pact Benelux. Ambassador and expert speaker Maria De la Fuente captivated our intimate audience by shedding light on a lesser-known yet critical aspect of the climate crisis: the hidden dangers of 'bad boy methane', the greenhouse gas that can no longer be overlooked. While we face the growing risk of reaching dangerous climate tipping points, we remain hopeful. Thanks to the groundbreaking research and insights from scientists like Maria, there is still the potential for real solutions. At this Pact Community Cafe, we were served pints of ideas and energy, inspiring us to push for a much-needed shift in both political and public attitudes toward climate change 💪🌍💚 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #MethaneMatters #EUClimatePact #ClimateChange #Gent #GentsMilieuFront
"You can picture them as two bothers. Carbon dioxide is the cool one, the loud one. Everybody knows him. And in his shadows, there is methane. The evil twin, the unpredictable bad boy." 😈 During yesterday's Belgian Pact Community Café #EUClimatePact Ambassador and Université libre de Bruxelles postdoc. researcher Maria De la Fuente took us on a journey through her research on methane. For those of you who thought science talks are boring, well think again! 🤯 Check out what we learned in the recap below. ⬇️ A huge thanks to our Ambassador in the spotlight Maria for sharing her inspiring story, and to Ambassador Thijs Michiels from Gents MilieuFront (GMF) for co-hosting this session. 🤗 #MyworldOurPlanet #MethaneMatters #INTOTHEWHITE
