Over the last week there have been a number of interesting developments in the field of climate change as it relates to the European Union.

Firstly, the European Commission has released a White Paper which describes their adaption strategy. EurActiv.com reported on it here.

And today, the European Council has adopted a climate-energy legislative package. Both are significant developments if the goals of a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions and 20% renewable energy sources by 2020 are to be met.
