BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission convened with Polish officials on Tuesday to attempt to win support for a tougher European Union climate change target, after the country requested more analysis of the goal.
EU countries plan to agree a new 2030 goal at a summit next month, with most states - and the EU Commission - in favour of cutting emissions by at least 55% against 1990 levels. The current goal, a 40% cut by 2030, would fail to put the EU on track to achieve "net zero" emissions by 2050.
