EU agrees weakened climate target in final-hour deal for COP30

The weakened target would let countries buy foreign carbon credits to cover up to 5pc of the 90pc emissions-cutting goal. That would effectively weaken to 85pc the emissions cuts required from European industries, and pay foreign countries to cut emissions on Europe's behalf to make up the rest. The EU also agreed to consider the option, in future, to use international carbon credits to meet a further 5pc of the 2040 emissions reductions - potentially shaving another 5pc off the domestic target.
