EU Misses Climate Target Deadline, Faces Internal Division

EU Misses Climate Target Deadline, Faces Internal Division

The EU is having trouble agreeing on how to cut pollution by certain dates.

They missed a deadline to tell the UN their plans, even though they were hoping to be climate leaders.

Some countries want to cut pollution a lot, while others worry about the costs and how it will affect industries.

Missing the deadline may weaken the EU's position in global climate talks.

Countries are divided on the extent to which they want to cut emissions.
