On environmental policy with Slovak MEP Martin Hojsík (22.1.2025 16:00)
22.01.2025
Natural disasters, such as last summer’s catastrophic floods in central Europe and the fires currently ravaging California, are becoming increasingly common. While not solely caused by climate change, these events have grown more frequent and severe, largely due to rising ocean and atmospheric temperatures. Additionally, industrial and residential pollution has degraded the quality of our air, water, and soil, endangering wildlife, human health, and the global food supply. Tackling such urgent and existential challenges requires immediate attention and collective action—precisely what motivates our guest in this episode. Martin Hojsík, a Bratislava native, currently serves as a vice-president of the European Parliament. Among other duties, he sits on the committee for environment, climate, and food safety. His environmental commitment extends beyond politics, with nearly two decades at Greenpeace and his former role as Chief Programme Officer for the animal rights group Four Paws.
