MEPs call to protect forests from climate change

摘要

MEPs in the Environment Committee of the European Parliament adopted a resolution last week calling for new EU legislation to protect the EU's "threatened forests" and to adapt to climate change. Fires, droughts and disease - problems aggravated by climate change - pose an increasing threat to Europe's forests, according to the resolution adopted on 17 March by the Environment Committee with 53 votes in favour, 6 against and no abstentions.
