Europe needs to up its game to regain credibility on climate change said Luis Alfonso de Alba, Mexico’s Special Envoy for Climate Change at the Greening Europe Forum breakfast debate. He said some developing countries were far ahead of the EU in their targets - ‘20% is just business as usual - in Europe you need to aim for more, like Mexico’s 30%’. But Artur Runge-Metzger, Director for Climate Strategy, Directorate General Climate Action pointed out the differences across the EU that made such targets difficult to envisage ‘Some Member States believe that even 20% is too much’ he said, indicating the lack of a broad consensus on targets.
