The EU has promised to make a tougher emissions-cutting target this year under the Paris climate accord, a move U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said is “essential” to global efforts to avoid catastrophic climate change.
The aim is for leaders of the 27-nation EU, which is the world’s third-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, to endorse the new goal at a summit on Dec. 10-11.
