The EU’s climate advisory board has advised against using international carbon credits to meet climate targets, stating it could weaken domestic emission reduction efforts. The board recommends aiming for a 90-95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, emphasizing the need for rapid and significant cuts. This stance conflicts with the German government, which supports including carbon offsets, while France seeks guarantees for businesses, raising concerns about the bloc’s overall climate policies amidst rising political tensions.
