EU climate law


MEPs will debate. from 15.00 to 17.00, the EU climate law including a more ambitious 2030 emissions reduction target. The climate law aims to transform political promises that the EU will become climate-neutral by 2050 into a binding obligation, to give European citizens and businesses the legal certainty and predictability they need to plan ahead. The vote will take place on Wednesday and the result will be announced on Thursday morning. A press conference is scheduled for Wednesday at 10.00.
