Greta Thunberg says EU recovery plan fails to tackle climate crisis

Exclusive: Activist says 750bn fund shows leaders not treating global heating as emergency

Greta Thunberg has accused EU politicians of failing to acknowledge the scale of the climate crisis and said its 750bn Covid-19 recovery plan does not do enough to tackle the issue.

The climate campaigner said the package of measures agreed by EU leaders proved that politicians were still not treating climate change as an emergency.
