Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union sought views on
how the bloc should best achieve greenhouse gas cuts of at least
80 percent by 2050.
The European Commission, the EU regulator, will publish a
so-called road map for emission reductions in the first half of
next year, according to a statement today on its website.
The road map "will contain an analysis of milestones on
the pathway to 2050, including the necessary scenarios of the
ambition level for 2030 reflecting the contributions from key
emitting sectors," the EU said. "It will assess ways to
maximize benefits in terms of stimulating technological
innovation, economic growth, job creation and strengthening the
energy security within the EU."
