The Polish government said on Wednesday that the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy and businesses would make meeting the EU's climate targets more difficult
due to heavy reliance on coal-fired power plants.
Poland is the only member state that has yet to meet the EU's target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050, which is at the heart of
the European Commission's Green Deal.
The European Commission's Executive Committee recommended legislation this month to achieve net-zero targets
.
However, the rapid spread of the virus has forced governments to suspend business operations, which has had a great negative impact
on the entire economy.
Poland's climate ministry told Reuters: "As a result of this crisis, our economy will be weaker, companies will not have enough capital to invest, and the completion of some important energy projects may be delayed or even suspended
.
" ”
"These are real problems that we will soon face, and because of these problems it will be more difficult
to achieve our climate goals," Poland said.
”
Poland has demanded that the EU scrap its emissions trading scheme or exempt
Poland from it.
Some diplomats in Brussels say climate plans
need to be rethought because of economic turmoil.
An EU diplomat said: "We simply don't have the money to do anything
.
"The EU's Green Deal is at risk
due to the economic impact of the virus.
Poland, which employs around half of the 237,000 employees in the entire EU coal industry, could face huge expenditures
on decarbonisation efforts, according to the European Commission.
The EU has proposed 7.
5 billion euros from its next long-term budget to help make changes in emissions-intensive regions, with Poland accounting for the largest
share.
The EU had hoped to win the support of all 27 member states at the June summit to meet its 2050 targets, although the meeting could now be cancelled
by the impact of the coronavirus.
A senior EU diplomat said: "Maybe there will be less investment in green deals and more
in trying to restart the economy.
" However, we cannot simply continue with the plans and programmes
that were previously established.
