Ricarda Lang: Physically coming together better than virtual summit
She further emphasized that a virtual summit or a meeting with fewer delegates would not offer the same opportunities for debate as a physical gathering. The Green politician defended the necessity of physical presence at such global meetings.
Lang pointed out that there are discussions about whether such conferences could be held digitally or whether the number of participants could be reduced. However, Lang stressed the importance of these meetings taking place in person to bring the global community together and to discuss how to preserve the natural foundation of life.
