Next week during the plenary session, the European Parliament will vote on a resolution asking the EU to commit to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This is part of the effort to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. The vote is being held ahead of December's COP25 UN climate conference in Madrid. The goal of the Paris Agreement is to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and continue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, we will not avoid the catastrophic scenarios that climate change will bring. A total of 194 countries signed the agreement. Among its signatories are the EU member states and the Union as a whole. They coordinate with each other and have set common goals for reducing emissions.
