## Resource

Europe has set a target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040, compared to 1990 levels. The goal is now legally binding, after the European Council formally adopted the amended European Climate Law last month. How achievable is it? What does it mean for Europe and beyond? How might it reshape global industries and trade? Zhao Ying speaks with Dr. Niklas Höhne, co-founder of the NewClimate Institute.
