EU's gas inclusion is a positive step

摘要

THIS month's decision by the European Parliament to allow gas projects - under strict conditions - to get support from the Just Transition Fund (JTF), the backbone of the €1 trillion ($1.18 trillion) European Green Deal, has raised the hackles of environmental groups. Using cash from the bloc's Covid-19 recovery budget, the European Union will allocate €17.5 billion to the JTF in order to help countries reliant on coal move towards net zero emissions goals by 2050 as well as a new, tougher 2030 emissions-cutting target.
