According to the intergovernmental group of UN experts to change the climate, heat periods are repeated repeatedly and covering the entire large territory, heat waves will be more pronounced-deserving of the fact that the planet will continue to warm up. Antropogenic factors will accelerate this process, according to UN experts.
On July 2, the European Commission suggested that EU’s climatic laws amend, which sets a new goal for 2040 – reduces greenhouse gas leaks by 90% of the 1990 level.
In accordance with the Climatic Law of the EU, the European Union and its members of the state focused on their own to make Europe as the first climate neutral continent by 2050.
The law established the first intermediate goal – reducing pure greenhouse gas release of at least 55% by 2030.
