EU Leaders May Delay Landmark Decision on 2030 Climate Goal

摘要

The European Union may have to delay a decision on a stricter 2030 climate goal as a quarrel over strings attached to a jointly financed stimulus package risks spilling over into other policy areas.Leaders of the bloc are supposed to discuss the draft European Climate Law, which would commit their countries to climate neutrality by 2050, at a Dec. 10-11 summit. But one key plank in the so-called European Green Deal, the target of reducing emissions by 55% compared to 1990 levels by the end of this decade, has yet to garner the required unanimous backing, according to an official familiar with the deliberations.
