Kathmandu : The European Union on Saturday rejected as “unacceptable” a proposal from COP27 host country Egypt for a deal at the climate summit, with a French official saying it was insufficiently ambitious on reducing carbon emissions.
“At this stage, the Egyptian presidency is calling into question gains made in Glasgow on emissions reduction,” the official from the French energy transition ministry told AFP, referring to the outcome of last year’s COP26. “This is unacceptable for France and for European Union countries.”
