Russian Narratives in Poland

2020 will be a very important year for the world’s seas and ocean, with the 15th CBD COP  (Convention on Biodiversity) and the 2nd UN Ocean Conference giving an opportunity to the EU to demonstrate its leadership in protecting the marine environment and the rich ecosystems we depend on. Given its ambitious marine, fisheries and nature conservation laws and policies, the EU should be at the forefront of the global fight to save our seas.

According to their Manifesto 2019

Climate action

Strict new carbon dioxide emissions targets will be phased in next year across the EU, with the threat of punitive fines for those who fail to comply. Under the rules, carmakers must cut their average fleet emissions to less than 95 grammes of CO2 per kilometre by 2021. They face a €95 fine for every gramme of CO2 that exceeds the target  multiplied by the number of cars sold that year. There is a potential €30bn penalty for the industry.
