COP27 deal doesn't go far enough, says EU's Timmermans

The climate deal agreed at COP27 in Egypt is not a sufficient step forward, European Union climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said on Sunday, criticising the commitment of some countries towards efforts to limit rising temperatures.

"This is the make or break decade, but what we have in front of us is not enough of a step forward for people and planet," Timmermans told the conference.

"It does not bring enough added efforts for major emitters to increase and accelerate their emissions cuts."
