Poland and Hungary could block efforts to strengthen the EU\u2019s 2030 climate goal over a separate dispute on democratic standards. <\/strong><\/p>\n

EU leaders are expected to agree on cutting collective emissions by at least 55% from 1990 levels, up from 40% currently, at a critical two-day Council meeting starting Thursday.<\/p>\n

Member states are under pressure to approve the new target ahead of a virtual climate ambition summit<\/a> on Saturday co-hosted by the UN, the UK and France to celebrate five years since the Paris Agreement was signed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU\u2019s leadership and competitiveness are at stake,\u201d said Manon Dufour, head of think tank E3G\u2019s office in Brussels, adding that EU Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen could not arrive empty-handed at the summit.<\/p>\n

While the proposed climate target is relatively uncontroversial, it risks becoming a victim of heated negotiations over a \u20ac1.8 trillion financial package, which includes \u20ac750 billion in coronavirus recovery funds.<\/p>\n

The European Commission has proposed making access to the funds conditional on respecting the EU\u2019s rule of law principles.<\/p>\n

The clause could cost Poland and Hungary billions of euros, with both countries accused of backsliding on democratic standards enshrined in the EU\u2019s founding treaties, including on the independence of the judicial system, the media and other institutions.<\/p>\n

They have threatened to veto the budget, which would hold up funds to support countries meet the enhanced 2030 climate target. This includes support for communities dependent on the fossil fuel industry to transition to new sectors of employment, which would benefit workers in both countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible that if there is no deal on the rule of law, there is no deal on the climate target,\u201d Dufour told Climate Home News.<\/p>\n

\u2018Looking for positivity\u2019<\/strong>: Parisversaire party to revive momentum on climate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a joint declaration<\/a>, Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki and his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orb\u00e1n said they respected common European values but that neither country \u201cwill accept any proposal that is deemed unacceptable by the other\u201d.<\/p>\n

Writing in Euractiv<\/a>, Morawiecki said the current proposal threatened \u201cthe future of the entire union\u201d at \u201ca time of great test for Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n

They are heading for a showdown with more liberal member states and Commission officials on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of negotiations between Brussels and Warsaw has never been as high as it is now,\u201d said Justyna Piszczatowska, a Polish financial journalist specialising in the energy sector.<\/p>\n

The absence of an EU announcement at Saturday\u2019s ambition summit would dampen momentum for climate action and be deeply embarrassing for the union.<\/p>\n

Both Von der Leyen and German chancellor Angela Merkel, who holds the EU Council\u2019s rotating presidency, have made achieving a climate deal at the meeting a top priority. The increased 2030 target would put the EU on a credible path towards its 2050 climate neutrality goal and drive green investments for the next decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a very bad look for the EU not to agree on a new target if the EU fails where the UK has succeeded,\u201d Dufour said, citing the UK\u2019s recent pledge to deepen emissions cuts to 68% between 1990 and 2030<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Marcel Beukeboom, climate envoy for the Netherlands, told Climate Home the EU \u201cwants to shine\u201d on the global stage as the incoming US administration is about to reverse four years of retreat of climate action under Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

As Poland and Hungary focus their political capital on fighting the conditionality to accessing EU funds, observers fear it will leave little time to negotiate on the climate issues.<\/p>\n

In private, European negotiators have expressed confidence a resolution can be found and leaders will approve enhanced 2030 ambition.<\/p>\n

The latest draft on the 2030 climate target presented to member states on Monday, recommended the EU Council adopt a \u201cbinding\u201d 2030 target of \u201cnet domestic reduction of at least 55%\u201d from 1990 level \u2013 reflecting the Commission\u2019s proposal earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While there is widespread support for cutting emissions by 55%, including from eastern European countries, Poland, Czechia and Hungary have pushed back on the inclusion of \u201cat least\u201d in the target and called for additional financial support to meet it.<\/p>\n

In an annotated version of the Council\u2019s draft conclusion, seen by Climate Home, the three countries demand the extension of EU funds to support their energy transition beyond 2027 and full flexibility over how the money is spent.<\/p>\n

They argue nuclear energy and methane gas should be recognised as \u201cmid-term low carbon transition\u201d energy sources.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a small alliance of progressive member states are opposing the \u201cnet\u201d in the target, which would count carbon sucked from the atmosphere and stored by forests and soils towards meeting the 55% reduction goal. This could reduce real emissions cuts needed from energy and industrial sectors by five<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0more<\/a>\u00a0percentage points, according to some estimates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Efforts to strengthen the EU climate target risk being sidelined as leaders head for a showdown over democratic
