The energy and climate secretary, Chris Huhne, on 11th June '10 urged the other European Union members of the states depicts the international leadership in countering global warming.

Further the liberal Democrat has used its EU talks since the push for a 30 per cent reduction in Europe's CO2 emissions by 2020.

Also the EU seems to be committed for reducing carbon emissions by 20 per cent till 2020 as compared with 1990 levels, and has taken oath to make it incline the ladder by 30 per cent till the time the US and other large polluting countries are in the same bandwagon.

However, the Environment Commissioner of EU has faced such disputes within the Commission throughout, admitting that the time is not yet right for EU to make move for the higher target.

On the contrary Mr Huhne wants early action on the same, and made the same clear that Europe should raise sights in the event to help renovate the global climate change negotiations.

Mr Huhne expressed that the estimated cost of hitting the 20 per target had dipped from €70bn to €48bn, which means a 30 per cent reduction could be gathered with a very little inclination on the original estimates.
