The news of climate change has been around for quite some time what is being done about it continues to see more evolution. The EU has made some pledges concerning this issue and is serious about achieving its goals. This interesting part about this is how the focus of the EU has shifted slightly from economic growth to other areas of security.
The environment and farming have become larger issues for this organization because it is recognized that investing in them will help the EU in the long term. With that said it is interesting to note how the EU is using its resources to make an effect on this area and is on its way to achieving its goals. Some other countries around the world lack this enthusiasm but this may be because being a transnational organization the EU can afford to look more closely at these issues without looking immediately like ts is not doing anything for the people (ie. a state is often pressured by its citizens to focus on more immediate issues than the long-term one of climate change).
It is interesting how this European body is progressing in this way when its member states are progressively gaining track on the right.
