EU Climate Targets Stalled as Ministers Fail to Agree on Emissions Cuts

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that EU environmental ministers failed to agree on 2035 emissions reduction targets during a Brussels meeting. With Eastern European nations opposing and others undecided, leaders will now revisit the issue at an October summit. This delay means the EU will miss the deadline to submit its targets for the U.N.’s annual climate synthesis report, raising doubts about its commitment to Paris Accord goals.
