Green NGO’s letter to van Rompuy: EU’s climate ambition a green way out of the crisis

“With stronger climate targets, European governments could create hundreds of thousands of new green jobs, according to a recent European Commission report”, the letter reads. “Instead of wasting cash on foreign oil and gas, EU countries could save up to €40 billion by boosting renewables. Savings in pollution control and health costs would be worth between €6.5 billion and €11.5 billion”.
