THE EU RELAUNCHES ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. BY 2030, 42.5 PER CENT OF ELECTRICITY MUST BE PRODUCED FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES.

The political agreement reached by the European Parliament, Commission and EU member states includes a legally binding target to increase the share of renewable energy in overall EU energy consumption to 42.5 percent by 2030. In practical terms, this means doubling the clean share in the EU's energy mix, which currently stands at 22.1 percent, according to internal statistics. The agreement closes negotiations on key elements of the EU's "Fit for 55" climate package, unveiled in July 2021, which aims to achieve a 55 percent net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

GLACIERS UNDER EXTINCTION

Under the Paris Agreements, adopted in 2015, 195 countries adopted a common goal of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. A recent report published in the journal Science estimated that half of the world's glaciers (excluding Greenland and Antarctica) will disappear by 2100, even if the 'temperature increase is limited to +1.5°C. It is estimated that at least 60 percent of the glaciers in central Europe will be lost by 2100.
