Visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe, Olivia Lazard, says the European Union (EU) seeks to emit no more greenhouse gas emissions than can be absorbed.
But, EU has been claiming that it supports the race to net zero, the process aimed at reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
”The net zero goal means that the EU, like the rest of the international community, seeks to emit no more greenhouse gas emissions than can be absorbed”, Lazard says.
Her research however, focuses on the geopolitics of climate, the transition ushered by climate change, and the risks of conflict and fragility associated to climate change and environmental collapse.
