The far-right group Patriots for Europe, known for its opposition to the European Union's climate policies, has been appointed to lead negotiations on the EU's next climate target for 2040. This appointment grants the Patriots for Europe unprecedented influence over the bloc's efforts to reduce emissions by 90% by 2040. The decision marks a notable shift in the European Parliament's approach to climate policy, as the group is skeptical of climate change and its nomination is expected to complicate the passage of the EU's ambitious emissions reduction goal.
