Chamber of DeputiesMPs vote in favour of changes to climate act

RTL Today
With 54 votes in favour, four against and two abstentions, the Chamber of Deputies approved amendments to the climate act on Thursday, including more ambitious CO2 targets.

Luxembourg’s 2020 climate act will be amended and updated to bring it in line with tighter European targets.

CO2 emissions certificates will be applied to transport and buildings, in addition to an equalisation mechanism which will be introduced at EU borders.

The climate act will also seek to improve sustainability for air travel, increasing emphasis on synthetic fuel in order to reduce carbon emissions.

The importance of the amendments to the climate act was emphasised on several occasions during Thursday’s session in parliament.
