BRUSSELS: European Union countries are debating whether to update their climate pledge ahead of this year's COP28 summit, to show they expect to exceed their current goal for CO2 emission cuts, a draft document showed.
A draft document, seen by Reuters, said EU countries may notify the United Nations that they can reach a 57 per cent emissions cut. The text was in brackets, indicating it is not yet agreed by all countries. An updated pledge from Europe - the world's fourth-biggest emitter after China, the United States and India - could increase the pressure on other countries to improve their green goals ahead of this year's United Nations climate summit in November.
