13/12/2017 (Agence Europe) – France, which hosted the One Planet summit on Tuesday 12 December, two years after the Paris climate agreement (see EUROPE 11924), wants reference to European Union action on tackling climate change to be included in the conclusions of the European summit which begins this Thursday 14 December. The purpose is to reaffirm certain commitments, such as the direction of funding to the fight against climate change and the adoption of European legislation on the Paris Agreement to be applied throughout the EU. There must be an agreement with Poland on this issue because we mention COP 24, a diplomat said on Wednesday 13 December. The United Nations COP 24 climate conference will take place in Katowice in December 2018. (MB)
