May-14 11:53
{AAustria's new coalition government has pulled back support for the EC proposed 90% emissions reduction target by 2040, reported by POLITICO.
- Former Climate Minister Leonore Gewessler welcomed the target in February 2024, but her Greens party is no longer in power.
- The new coalition has not endorsed the goal, calling instead for competitiveness, food security, and a just transition to be prioritised.
