Timmermans: ‘No new climate target’

The EU will update its climate target (NDC) but not officially increase it for the time being. This was announced by the Executive President of the EU Commission, Frans Timmermans, on Tuesday in Sharm el-Sheikh. Already, the EU is ready to reduce its emissions by 57 percent, he said in the plenary hall at COP27, which would exceed the current climate target of „at least“ 55 percent less CO2 emissions in 2030 compared to 1990.
