"German Greens Lead Push for Ambitious EU Climate Neutrality by 2040"

The Greens are pushing for EU climate neutrality by 2040 in their election manifesto, aiming to blame conservatives for decades of farming policy and garnering support from party members for veteran MEPs Terry Reintke and Bas Eickhout to lead the EU campaign. However, they are facing challenges as farmers' protests and a right-wing surge test the EU's climate goals, potentially impacting the Paris 2024 Olympics amidst a tense geopolitical moment.

"European Parliament Divided: Backlash and Cliffhanger Vote on Nature Restoration Law"

The Nature Restoration Law, a key piece of legislation in the European Green Deal aiming to make the EU climate neutral by 2050, is facing strong opposition from centrist and right-wing parties in the European Parliament. The law proposes binding targets to restore degraded ecosystems and protect marine, urban, and agricultural ecosystems. Critics argue that it poses risks to food security and energy output, while supporters believe it could boost economic growth in the long term. The outcome of the vote on Wednesday will determine the future of the law and may signal a shift in EU priorities regarding international environmental commitments.

End of an Economic Boom: Germany Says Goodbye to Years of Plenty.

Germany's economy is facing challenges such as inflation, interest rate rises, sluggish recovery in its key export market China, and high energy costs. The country is predicted to finish the year in the red, with the government being the only one left predicting GDP growth. The push to achieve climate neutrality by 2045 is expected to bring a new economic era, but some experts are sceptical about seeing any short-term benefits. The country is also held back by structural weaknesses such as slow bureaucracy, low levels of digitalisation, and an ageing population that could lead to labour shortages.

EU and Germany agree on future of combustion engines.

Germany and the European Union have reached an agreement on a regulation that requires new cars to be carbon neutral by 2035, allowing some combustion engines beyond the deadline if they run on e-fuels. The deal means that Germany can formally approve an agreement reached in October that requires new cars to be zero-emissions, a key pillar in the EU's plans to reach climate neutrality by 2050. However, environmental activists have criticized the deal, warning against changes that could distract from progress toward broader use of electric and other zero-emission vehicles.
