Cutting the European Union's greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 would reduce economic growth by a fraction of a percent, Britain's minister for energy and climate change said on the 21 November 2013. The EU is expected to lead the way in outlining binding environment and energy targets for 2030, helping to frame a new global treaty to fight climate change. The EU has already nearly met a target to cut 1990-level emissions by 20% by 2020, as a result of lower energy demand following a recession and a shift towards green power, such as solar and wind. |
