EU Climate Agreement: A Step Backward or Adaptation?

Despite six years of climate change efforts, the EU's new agreement marks a step backward, weakening existing laws and slowing domestic pollution reduction. The compromise, reached after a marathon meeting, sets a non-binding target for 2035 and a binding target of 85% emission cuts by 2040, with the remaining 5% to be achieved through carbon credits. Critics call the outcome 'embarrassing' and 'short-sighted,' highlighting a lack of political courage.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
