EU Parliament seeks stricter greenhouse gas rules

摘要

The European Parliament is calling for fast action to reduce non-CO2 climate forcers including black carbon soot, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), methane and ground-level ozone. The Parliaments call for action came in a resolution passed this week by an overwhelming majority (578 to 51 with 22 abstentions).The resolution calls for a comprehensive climate policy and "stresses that in addition to considering CO2 emission reductions, it should place emphasis on strategies that can produce the fastest climate response," specifically strategies to cut black carbon soot, HFCs, methane and ground-level ozone.
