European Union enshrines net zero and emissions targets into law

欧盟就净零排放目标立法

The European Council adopted a climate change law that legally obliges its 27 nations to collectively slash greenhouse emissions by 55% by 2030 — from 1990 levels — and to become anet-zero-emissions economy by 2050.

欧洲理事会通过了气候变化法案，从法律层面要求27个成员国在2030年前将温室气体排放量削减为1990年的55%，并在 2050 年之前成为净零排放经济体。

The European Union and several other nations increased pledges to cut greenhouse gases and reach carbon neutrality at a virtual climate change summit hosted by US President Joe Biden in April. But there have been concerns over whether world leaders would win the backings of their parliaments to actually enshrine the pledges into law.

4月份，在美国总统乔·拜登主持的气候变化峰会上，欧盟和其他几个国家增加了减少温室气体排放和实现碳中和的承诺。但有人担心这几位领袖是否能取得议会的支持，将这些承诺真正写入法律。
