The EU can update the climate commitment to demonstrate faster progress towards CO2 targets

European Union countries are debating whether to update their climate pledge ahead of this year's COP28 summit to show they expect to exceed their current CO2 reduction target, according to a draft document. The 27-member EU has one of the most ambitious climate targets among major economies – it has legally agreed to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.(Kate Abnett, Reuters)
