European Union Plans New Package for Emission Reductions at COP31 Summit
According to an internal document, the European Union will work at the COP31 summit in Turkey to accelerate greenhouse gas emission reductions and extend the UN program to 2040.
According to an internal European Union document, consensus will be sought for a comprehensive package aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the COP31 climate summit to be held in Turkey next month.
Preparations for the Summit in Turkey
The European Union will push for an agreement on a package of measures aimed at cutting planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions at the COP31 climate summit to be held in Turkey next month.
Emission Reduction Program Goal
The bloc will demand that the UN climate talks segment, where states discuss how to cut emissions and identify areas where more can be done, be extended through 2040.
Global Warming Targets
The European Union will also ask countries to respond to the UN's confirmation last month that the world is falling behind its 2015 Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Financing Discussions
The internal document states that there is no room for new climate finance pledges at COP31, a situation likely to pit European nations against poorer countries seeking more support.
