Resurgent Greens flexing their muscle in European Parliament

The European Greens last week announced a plan to step up EU’s climate ambition, by raising the EU 2030 climate target to at least 60% greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and implementing a Green New Deal to become a net-zero emission and 100% renewables-based economy well before 2050.

They also decided not to support the candidacy of Ursula von der Leyen for President of the EU Commission, despite her nomination by EU leaders.
