EC sets out climate law to hit net zero emissions by 2050

摘要

London—The European Commission unveiled Wednesday its legislative proposal to enshrine in law a goal to reduce the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 — seen as a major shake-up of Eu- rope’s economy by mid-century. The law seeks to transform the European economy to become low-carbon by 2050, upending years of fossil fuel dependency and ushering in growth in cleaner energy, industry, transport, agriculture and buildings.
