EU Considers Watered Down Climate Law
European leaders are pushing for more industry flexibilities to reach a deal on the bloc's 2040 emissions target.
The EU is considering allowing its heavy industry to pollute for longer under a new draft proposal aimed at breaking the deadlock on the bloc's 2040 goal for cutting planet-warming emissions.
Denmark, which is steering the talks among EU countries, is opening the door to slowing the EU's climate efforts to win support from the majority of countries to back the target of a 90 percent emissions cut by 2040 compared to 1990 levels.
The proposal suggests assessing progress toward achieving the new 2040 climate goal every two years, taking into account "scientific evidence, technological advances and evolving challenges to and opportunities for the EU’s global competitiveness.
The intention is to strike a deal before the COP30 climate summit starting Nov. 10 in Brazil.
