The European Union plans to use the upcoming COP31 climate summit in Turkey to push for stronger measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to an internal EU document reviewed by Reuters. The EU aims to extend discussions on emission reductions until 2040 and emphasize practical steps like transitioning away from fossil fuels. However, the EU is unlikely to commit to new financial aid for poorer countries struggling with climate change impacts.

Story summary
In preparation for COP31 in Turkey scheduled for November, the European Union aims to accelerate CO2 cuts through a "package" of measures aimed at turning existing climate pledges into concrete actions. The EU plans to extend the "mitigation work programme," which discusses emission reduction strategies, until 2040. This move comes after last year's COP30 summit in Brazil ended without stronger commitments on greenhouse gas reductions, highlighting ongoing tensions between developed nations and emerging economies over climate action measures that could impact economic growth.
