We have seen violence in neighboring libya. They have become something of a fact of life. You have been talking to locals ahead of the parliamentary vote. What are they thinking about all of this . Security is one of the concerns and what we have and one followed closely by people on local media. What is striking is a lot of the idealism we saw after the fall of the regime in 2011 is gone. After four interim governments people are focused on more practical concerns. Particularly, the economy. Unemployment now worse than it was during the regime. People very worried about the economy and job situations. Obviously wondering what kind of government this will lead to. The biggest single force remains the islamist party. For many, their record is tainted after politicians accusations of mismanagement. On the other side, a party run by a veteran of the government. They claim they have the technical ability to get the country back on its feet. Some are perhaps hoping they do not see them with job. Whatever happens, some sort of Coalition Government seems likely. That could please into national watchers but mike contribute to a sense of whoever you vote for you get more of the same thing. Ultimately, it is about the planets survival. Those of the words of the president of the european council. He chaired a key summit in brussels. He said he you leaders you leaders have reached a landmark deal to tackle Climate Change. They have agreed to cut greenhouse emissions considerably and boost the use of green energy instead. For countries like poland that rely heavily on coal, it can be difficult to reach that goal. Charlotte hawkins explains. A landmark deal by 2030, the e. U. Will cut greenhouse emissions to 30 below 1990 levels. A binding commitment that took a 28 liters hours to agree upon. It was not easy, but we managed to reach a fair decision. It sets europe on an ambitious yet costefficient climate and energy path. As well as reducing emissions, leaders agreed by 2030 energy should become more efficient. Renewable energy must provide at least 27 of needs. Environmentalists have criticized the goals to combat global warming. Others have defended them as the only way to get all states on board. Heavily reliant on coal, poland put up strong opposition to the target setting the pace of change was too fast for the Eastern European countries as they try to grow their economies. Pooerer states will receive help meeting the objectives. And targets of the target zone will be broken down according to gdp. Countries that have higher gdp will have to contribute more. Others that have less will have to contribute less. Agreement makes the e. U. The first major economy to set emissions targets for after 2020. Leaders will encourage others to do the same ahead of the climate pact to be adopted in paris next year. He is following the story for us and joins us live from brussels. He is hailing this as a major deal, but is it really a major deal . This deal is a compromise. You can look at the glass and say it is half full or half empty. Earlier, i spoke to a number of green m. P. s. They are not impressed. They said this 40 cut target does not go far enough. It is not going to reverse Climate Change and that is really what europe should do. They see other problems. The increase in the share of sustainables and Energy Efficiency are nonbinding targets. It is nonbinding. They are afraid of number of Member States will choose to ignore them. Later, i spoke to an advisor to francois hollande. Lets be honest, this is the most ambitious Climate Policy in the world. Maybe we are not going far enough, but at least we are trying to do something. Relief there is a deal on the table and europe will be speaking with one voice and will not go to the next climate talks emptyhanded. There will be an important meeting in lima this year. More importantly, this make or break time at summit in paris at the end of next year. Europe wants to send a strong signal. It wants partners like the United States and china to follow suit. When you have countries like poland that heavily rely on coal can europe afford to remain a Global Leader in the fight against Climate Change . That was the philosophical question debated yesterday. We have a compromise on the table. But you are right to point out poland. Poland gets 95 of its electricity from coal. Coal is cheap but the most polluting energy. Poland is afraid of two things. It says, what will be the cost of the transition . They are afraid it will damage their industry. The second fear is by reducing the use of coal, poland might become more reliant on russia for energy supplies. This is the last thing warsaw wants to see in these troubled times. That is what a deal was found. In poland and a number of poor Member States will be able to tap into a solidarity mechanism. They will get special funds from europe to help the carbonize their industry to help them get this green transition in place. A pleasure to have you reporting from brussels.
