 🔥 Ok, EU #ENVI ministers agreed their 2040 #climate target. It is far from what science tells us is needed, and the EP position still missing. But what anyhow matters is measures that will be taken to achieve it (ETS/II, LULUCF, ICE, ..). When are we talking about reducing #livestock, when about taxing #kerosine, when about restoring #forests? See also the press release by @CANEurope 👇 https://caneurope.org/2040-climate-target-agreed-a-deal-but-not-a-breakthrough/
2040 Climate Target Agreed: a deal, but not a breakthrough - CAN Europe

While reaching an agreement before COP30 has been critical, today’s decision is certainly a disappointing outcome. After nearly two years of negotiations, ministers have agreed on a deal that weakens the core of Europe’s climate ambition.

CAN Europe
Still nothing out of the #ENVI Council as to the 2040 EU #Climate target. Can't believe it, press conference was planned for 4pm. Some so called leaders apparently not seizing the urgency of the climate collaps and what it means for our economy & survival - don't #greenwash the -90%! #ActTheFuckNow

Erste Etappe geschafft: Der Umweltausschuss unterstützt klare Forderungen für mehr Schutz bedrohter Arten bei der CITES-Konferenz COP20.
