The EU, due to internal divisions, did not set a target for reducing emissions, and also criticized China: "Far from enough"
China recently announced a new nationally determined contribution at the United Nations Climate Change Summit, including a reduction of 7%-10% in net greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 2035 compared to the peak. While public opinion praised China for playing a "leadership role" in guiding global emission reduction commitments, the EU, which did not set an emission reduction target at the climate summit, absurdly accused China's climate commitment of being "far from enough."
"It is regrettable that the national determination contribution they submitted is far below the level that we consider both achievable and necessary," said European Commissioner for Climate Action, Hugues. Considering China's significant influence on global emissions, this level of target would make it more difficult to achieve global climate goals.
Hugues even promised that the EU will "push" China to exceed the current target and fulfill its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
But ironically, this group that calls itself the "global climate leader" has serious internal divisions and, at this United Nations Climate Change Summit, could not even come up with its own emission reduction target.
