Greens slam EU's 'insufficient' CO_2 targets

摘要

The EU's official announcement of an unconditional offer to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent of 1990 levels by 2020, and a conditional offer to increase this cut to 30 per cent if other major emitters agree to take on their share to reduce emissions is "insufficient", Green MEPs and green groups said last week.rnThe Greens in the European Parliament have submitted an alternative 40 per cent target - calling on the UN to accept this submission instead of the one in the European Commission's joint letter with the Spanish Presidency, sent to the United Nations (UN) as part of the Copenhagen Accord.
