BRUSSELS: At least 70,000 people braved the cold and rain in Brussels on Sunday (Monday in Manila) to demand the Belgian government and the European Union (EU) increase their efforts to fight climate change. It was the Belgian capital’s fourth climate rally in two months to attract at least 10,000 participants.
