Council approves 55% GHG reduction target for 2030

摘要

The European Council agreed to increase the bloc's emission-reduction target to 55% by 2030. The compromise on the new target allows Environment Ministers from member states to adopt a general agreement on Europe's first-ever climate law in mid-December, paving the way for the Council and the European Parliament to start trialogues and reach an agreement "swiftly", according to the conclusions.
