Former Crisis Chief Warns of Potential Backlash Against EU Climate Strategy
With political tensions escalating, the EU stays resolute in upholding its climate objectives, despite challenges from international leaders and adjustments to internal policies.
In a series of reports, EU climate experts underscored the risks and opportunities associated with Europe's climate strategy.
Teresa Ribera, a senior official, cautioned that Donald Trump's expected retreat from climate commitments might allow other countries to enhance their clean energy industries.
Still, despite these challenges, Wopke Hoekstra, the EU's climate chief, is determined to uphold the EU's climate goals.
He acknowledges, however, the importance of international collaboration.
Within the EU, there are also discussions about revising green policies, though Hoekstra argues that such changes wouldn't favor the industry.
Furthermore, EU advisors recommend a temporary ban on solar geoengineering and advocate for a global agreement to manage these technologies.
