The European Commission on Wednesday proposed a 90% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared to Lakes in 1990.
The Commission said that by 2030, the proposal would be on the current binding target to reduce the thesis type of up to at least 55%.
European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen said, “As European citizens feel the impact of rapid climate change, they expect from Europe. Industries and investors determine us a predicted direction of travel.”
“Today we show that we stand firmly with our commitment to disintegrate the European economy by 2050. The target is clear, the journey is practical and realistic,” said Leyen.
What is the proposed amendment?

Under the scheme, member states will be given more flexibility to achieve climate goals. Currently, they have only BEE to calculate domestic greenhouse gas cuts, but since 2036, the proposal allows carbon credit from non-European Union countries to count up to 3% of the total 90% decrease compared to the 1990 levels.
European Union Commission Deputy Chairman Teresa Ribera said, “We are not choosing between the economy and the green agenda, we are choosing both. Europe confirms its commitment to a fair, ambitious and competitive green infection.”
He said, “Agreed to 90% of the climate target we get a clear lighthouse to direct our future functions,” he said.
