The political agreement will allow the E.U. update your climate plans in preparation for the upcoming COP3 climate conference0, organized by the United Nations in Belém, Brazil.
European Union (EU) countries reached a political agreement this Wednesday to reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by 2040, compared to 1990, although diluting the objectives with measures that grant greater flexibility to member states.
The agreement was reached by qualified majority after almost 24 hours of negotiationswith Slovakia, Hungary and Poland voting against, in accordance with the positions expressed today in the public session of the European Environment Council.
The political agreement will also allow the EU update your climate plans in preparation for the upcoming COP3 climate conference0, organized by the United Nations in Belém, Brazil.
The EU, which should have already presented its updated climate plans to the UN 10 years after the 2015 Paris Agreement, commits to reducing CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions by between 66.25% and 72.5% by 2035, compared to 1990 levels (a range that, at the upper limit, corresponds to 90% by 2040).
