Europe’s New Climate Targets: Myth & Reality
Wednesday, February 12, 2014 8:04
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
On 22 January, the outgoing European Commission (EC) proposed new EU-wide CO2 emissions and renewables targets for 2030 which will be discussed by the European Council in the next 12 months.
This announcement was reported in the media as if the EU has already adopted these aggressive, new targets.
However, this is not the case.
If agreed by the European Council, the CO2 emissions target would only be offered as a conditional pledge during the 2015 international negotiations on climate change in Paris.
