Britain calls for EU target to halve emissions by 2030
Britain has challenged Europe to sign up to an ambitious target of cutting carbon emissions
by 50 per cent by 2030.
Ed Davey, the Climate Change Secretary, called on fellow EU governments to sign up to the target
as part of a global climate agreement in 2015.
The proposal marks a shift in the UK's position after internal coalition wrangling over climate change.
The British government wants the EU to agree to 40 per cent reduction of carbon emissions from
1990 levels, with an "ambition" for it to be extended to 50 per cent when the agreement is reached in two years.
