Under pressure from farmers, the European Commission has revised its proposal for a new 2040 goal to cut greenhouse gas pollution. Key elements, such as a potential 30% reduction in agricultural pollution, suggestions for citizens to consume less meat, and ending fossil fuel subsidies, were removed from the plan. Farmers’ protests across Europe prompted this revision, with Germany witnessing significant demonstrations due to diesel subsidy cuts. The updated plan, subject to change, still aims for a 90% reduction in EU emissions by 2040, aligning with climate predictions. The new version emphasizes the positive role of agriculture in the EU’s “food sovereignty,” reflecting demands from influential political groups.
