EU leaders reached a deal to cut climate emissions in the bloc by 55% within a decade compared to 1990 levels after all-night talks to resolve how the change could be fairly implemented. The 2030 target is a key part of the EU’s aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, and comes as the bloc signed off on a €1.85 trillion budget and stimulus package tied to green investments and digitalisation projects. “That’s a historic development,” said Taoiseach Micheál Martin as he emerged on Friday from the marathon debate with fellow EU leaders devoted to getting the climate agreement over the line.
