Another reduction in greenhouse gas emissions raises Poland's opposition
13:12
The European Union has agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This is a crucial, even literally, aspect of the Fit for 55 packages.
As scenarios prepared by the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change show, this is a necessary action to limit global warming. According to EU policymakers, emissions should be further reduced by 90-95 percent in the next decade compared to 1990.
It is relatively easy to predict Poland's response to this. Our government consistently opposes raising targets in climate policy.
Recently, they even made an unconventional move - the Minister of Climate and Environment, Anna Moskwa, announced the intention to challenge the plan to introduce a ban on combustion engine cars in the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It is unlikely that this will change anything in EU law, but it may serve in an election campaign.
