BRUSSELS (AN) — The European Commission adopted a set of proposals on Wednesday that it said would cut net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% from 1990 levels by the end of this decade.
The proposals from the European Union's executive branch aim to transform the 27-nation bloc into "the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050" and to achieve the European Green Deal, a three-decade blueprint to sustainably overhaul Europe’s trade, industry and politics announced by the E.U. in 2019. They also are intended to set an example for the United States and other nations.
