European Union member countries race to agree on emissions targets before COP30 summit in Brazil
European Union climate ministers meet in Brussels in a final push to agree on new emissions targets. Ministers are under pressure to finalise a 2035 emissions target, which all signatories to the Paris Agreement are required to submit. This, as the COP30 summit in Brazil gets underway later this week. The bloc has some of the most ambitious CO-2 cutting policies and is scrambling to contain backlash from industries and governments that are sceptical whether it can afford the measures, alongside defence and industrial priorities. Will Denselow reports.
