Climate neutrality won't be cheap as Poland opposes - Bloomberg

Poland currently holds veto to the European Union’s goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and gaining the country's support won't come at a cheap price, Bloomberg reported.  The government in Warsaw is demanding aid to bear “significant costs” of the EU’s environmental efforts, according to an internal document it prepared for a two-day summit in Brussels. Bringing infrastructure up to standard and moving away from coal could cost dozens of billions of euros a year for Poland.

Earlier in October Estonia dropped its opposition to climate neutrality proposal, which is now supported by 25 member states.
