COP 27: EU Parliament calls for higher climate targets

In light of the wide gap between current emissions reduction targets worldwide and the carbon reductions required to meet the Paris climate goals, the EU Parliament demands that industrialized countries commit to more climate action. In a resolution setting out the Parliament’s position for the world climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh (COP 27), a majority of MEPs on Thursday called for the EU to raise its climate target before the conference begins.
