According to Reuters article published on March 28, 2023, European member states gave their final approval on Tuesday to tougher national targets to cut emissions in some sectors, and expand CO2-absorbing natural ecosystems like forests.
The two laws are part of a major package of climate change legislation passing through the European Union's policymaking process, designed to ensure the 27-country bloc cuts greenhouse gas emissions 55% by 2030, from 1990 levels.
European lawmakers last week gave their final approval. The decision will be published in the EU's Official Journal and enter into force.
