19 November 2022 at 09:11 The EU’s climate chief refuses to let the 1.5 degree target die – We believe that a positive result is within reach today, says the EU’s climate chief Frans Timmermans. On Saturday, he urged negotiators at the climate summit in Egypt to agree on targets based on previous climate agreements and to keep a ceiling of 1.5 degrees when it comes to increasing global temperatures. – The EU is united in our ambition to move forward and build on what we agreed on in Glasgow. Our message is clear: We cannot accept that the 1.5 degree target dies here and today, he said on Twitter. He says at the same time that the EU is “ready to go” if the agreement is not good enough. – We will not accept a result if it is a step backwards. The EU would rather have no decision than a bad decision, says Timmermans.
