In 2019 European Union leaders agreed to cut the bloc’s greenhouse-gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. Net zero refers to a state in which human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by removing an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere. As part of the goal coal power plants and gas powered cars would be completely phased out of the economy. Economists estimate that the European Union will need 1.5 trillion euros of investments per year to meet the 2050 target. That would imply a huge divestment from areas like combustion engine cars, fossil fuel production and new airports, and a jump in investments into public transport, renovating buildings and expanding renewable energy, the researchers said.

Net zero by 2050 is INCREDIBLY insufficient. Net zero requirements should be much more urgent/drastic.
@9ZT3FBC7mos7MO
yes, but be realistic about timelines, progress and increase incentives and educate public on how to take part and do better.
@9ZRQCDH7mos7MO
This is a impossible target and shows how governments are living in a world of their own, it would cause hardship for the common man
@9ZPHLZ28mos8MO
They should cut greenhouse emissions to zero by 2030 rather than 2050, we're already behind the curve
@9ZH8PJL8mos8MO
NO. Causing hardship on those already struggling financially
@9ZDW5P98mos8MO
As long as they do it in a healthy way and don’t damage the earth any more then it is
@9ZD97DJ8mos8MO
Yes, but it should be far sooner, by a date such as 2030
@9ZCJZ9B8mos8MO
We should try cut greenhouse emissions as much as possible by then!!
