What MEPs voted today on compliance between CAP and Paris Agreement:

For: link to Paris and NECPs

Against: a measurable target to reduce GHG emissions by 30% by 2027

THREAD on content of what EPP-RE-S&D MEPs have negotiated on the #FutureofCAP and why this surrender to intensive agriculture interests must be stopped
"Maintenance", not protection, of #peatlands means taxpayers will still be paying for drained peatlands, currently 25% of ag GHG emissions Image
