Campaigners sue EU over ‘grossly inadequate’ 2030 climate targets

A commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 43% below 2005 levels by 2030, implemented as a single-year point target. A multi-year emissions budget for the period 2021 to 2030, with an indicative value of 4381 million tonnes CO2-e, corresponds to the 43% target. We are achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
The Climate Action Plan 2021 (CAP21) provides a detailed plan for taking decisive action to achieve a 51% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and setting us on a path to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050, as committed to in the Programme for Government and set out in the Climate Act 2021.

                            @gorffly_mokua We have to ensure that we keep on the right trajectory toward achieving our goals so this action towards the EU is appropriate

                              @gorffly_mokua They should walk the talk, and ensure the ones responsible, action is taken against them and pay their dues.
