EU member states have adopted a revised mandate for ongoing negotiations with the European Parliament on the EU climate law, including limits on the role of carbon removals in the bloc’s 2030 climate target, according to EU documents seen by EURACTIV.
Lawmakers are now hoping that the next round of negotiations on the climate law next Tuesday (20 April) will be the last, allowing European countries to attend the US climate summit on Thursday with a deal on the EU’s 2030 target.
“The negotiations are ongoing with a full package view of the several main elements in the Climate Law, where nothing is agreed until everything is agreed,” according to an EU source.
