The European Union has proposed a climate law that will set a target of net zero carbon emissions across the bloc by 2050.
Greta Thunberg has denounced the announcement as “empty words” describing the proposal as, “giving up on the Paris Agreement,” which was signed in 2016 by almost two hundred nations who proposed to limit their emissions.
Many activists have called on the EU to set a target for 2030 and to further specify how it would be achieved.
