EU countries have approved targets in the area of reducing CO2 emissions and expanding forest carbon reservoirs

EU member states have finally approved "stricter national targets to reduce emissions in some sectors and expand natural ecosystems that absorb CO2, such as forests," reports Reuters. Reuters reports on more EU news: “Two rival alliances of EU countries held the final hours of talks in Brussels on Tuesday ahead of talks on whether to recognize nuclear power as part of the EU's renewable energy targets. The disagreement came a day before EU countries and lawmakers are due to agree on tougher EU targets for expanding renewable energy by 2030, a key part of the bloc's plans to cut CO2 emissions and shift away from Russian gas. the Financial Times: “Italy's drive to ditch Russian gas and replace it with imports from North Africa has put Giorgia Meloni's government on a collision course with international climate agreements. The government last week published its policy to phase out public financial support for coal, oil and gas projects abroad, but climate change experts say the new rules are full of loopholes.
