COP27: EU vows more emissions cuts

The COP27 conference in Egypt has been dominated by calls for wealthy nations to fulfil pledges to fund the green transitions of poorer countries least responsible for global emissions, build their resilience and compensate them for climate-linked losses.

The 27-nation bloc will now be able to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 57% from 1990 levels, he said.The invasion of Ukraine by fossil fuel exporter Russia has cast a shadow over the talks in Egypt, with activists accusing Europeans of seeking to tap Africa for natural gas following Russian supply cuts.

"If the EU, with a heavy history of emitting greenhouse gases, doesn't lead on mitigating climate change, who will?"COP27 has exposed deep divisions between wealthy polluters and nations vulnerable to the most ferocious climate impacts. "In how many COPs have we been arguing for urgent climate action? And how many more do we need, how many lives do we need to sacrifice," Mr Habet said.

In a small breakthrough, the United States and European Union agreed to have the issue discussed at COP27.

Loosely translated as higher taxes and more control of you!

More tax that will sort it

Looking forward to Ireland contributing 30+ GW of zero emissions offshore wind, over the next decade or two.

As the 4th highest greenhouse gas emitter, the EU (IRL incl.) has to step up.

EU and US doing well....EU should meet its target 50% reduction from 1990 levels ...China and India not doing as well.....

Start with the biggest polluters 1st. Then the Billionaires as they personally create more emissions than some towns. Then when you’ve done that I’ll look at my tiny Carbon footprint (Carbon is not the issue by the way) ClimateScam

Maybe these 'developing nations' could cut back on their insane populations a bit. Does the world have any particular need of billions of Indians and Africans and whatever? Nope.

Greedy green parties have ruined the world.

It's a scam get over It!!

Opinion: Ireland has failed to demonstrate real leadership on climate justice at COP27Opinion: Ross Fitzpatrick is at COP27 in Egypt - he says Ireland has failed to show leadership on climate justice... 'blatant refusal to acknowledge the polluter pays principle – a core element of climate justice.' Well, China and India and all those similarly overpopulated holes are the problem so let them pay for it. Ireland has 'failed to show leadership' on ANY justice, judging by what's walking our streets. Maybe addressing actual criminal matters instead of the ClimateScam would be a better use of resources rather than 'chasing one's tail'. Climate justice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
