EU leaders to mull date for 'climate neutrality'
By EUobserver
Leaders of the 28 EU national governments will discuss on Thursday afternoon by when Europe should be 'climate-neutral'. A draft text of the conclusions said the transition to an economy which has net zero greenhouse gas emissions should be done by 2050. Austria has suggested the more vague 'by mid-century', according to a text seen by EUobserver. Some of the poorer eastern EU countries are worried for their economies.
