EU countries agree weakened 2040 climate goal and target for COP30

The deal avoids the #EU going empty handed to the #COP30 climate summit starting on Nov. 10.

The European Union's environment ministers struck a deal #watering #down a proposed 2040 target for cutting planet-warming #emissions and set a new 2035 climate plan.

Following marathon negotiations all day Tuesday and into Wednesday morning, ministers unanimously approved the bloc’s long-overdue #climate plan, rescuing the EU from the international embarrassment of showing up empty handed at this month's COP30 summit.

The plan, which is a requirement under the #ParisAgreement, sets a new goal to slash EU emissions between 66.25 percent and 72.5 percent below 1990 levels until 2035.
