Poland exempted from 2050 climate neutrality - PM

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he secured an exemption from 2050 climate neutrality for Poland in what he described as "difficult" talks at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.

He said generous funding for the economic transition was promised for regions "most affected" by phasing out fossil fuels and that the EU explicitly recognized nuclear energy as admissible as the bloc pushes to reduce emissions.
