“The challenge now is to ensure at the Glasgow Summit that all major economies set sufficiently ambitious, measurable and verifiable targets for 2030 and commitments to achieve climate neutrality,” said the top diplomat of the European Union on Thursday
The EU must set a good example, said Borrell in a blog post. “As one of the most economically developed areas in the world, we are among those that emitted the most greenhouse gases in the past that are responsible for climate change.” Both the EU and the US have set stricter targets this year to reduce their emissions by 2030. China, India and Russia are among the countries that are under international pressure to position themselves more ambitiously in time for the UN climate summit in Glasgow.
