What happened
The European Union plans to use the COP31 climate summit in Turkey in November to push for a "mitigation package" aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to an internal EU document. Ireland, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, drafted the document. The EU will also demand an extension of the "mitigation work programme" until 2040.

Why it matters
The push seeks to turn existing climate pledges into real-world actions, responding to the UN confirmation that the world will miss the 1.5C warming target. The EU aims to strengthen partnerships to deliver practical progress on the transition away from fossil fuels and electrification.
