摘要

The EU is in danger of being overtaken by Australia and Japan in pledging tougher targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Point Carbon, a leading independent provider of market intelligence on energy and the environment, said in an analysis of the pledges made at the Copenhagen climate conference.rn"Even if the EU was to increase its emissions reduction target to 30 per cent of 1990 levels, Japan and Australia are still pledging larger cuts from current emission levels," said Kjetil Roine, Point Carbon's manager.
