As of today, the EU’s environment ministers and Climate Commissioner Frans Timmermans are sitting at the table at the climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh. Brussels always praises itself for its ambitious plans, but the Europeans do not only have good news for the global community. The pressure on Timmermans and his team is great. The other participants are asking when and how the EU will increase its climate target. My colleague Lukas Scheid is on the scene. He analyzed what Europe could propose and also gives an outlook on the second week of COP27.
