The new President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has vowed to put the climate at the heart of her presidency.

Key points of the deal are: At least 50% reduction in EU carbon emissions compared with 1990 levels by 2030, EU “climate neutrality” by 2050, a “carbon border tax” on polluting foreign firms in “selected” industries in 2021 and €100 billion earmarked to help countries transition from fossil fuels.
