For my poster project I have chosen to research the climate policy of the European Union (EU) negotiating group. The EU negotiating group consists of 28 countries that have collaborated on one official climate policy. For my research I am investigated what carbon dioxide emission reduction commitments the EU negotiating group have established. I am exploring which European countries have met their goals or if they were unsuccessful in lowering emissions and why that is. I am researching variables, such as clean energy sources, that have led to countries successfully lowering emissions. By gaining a deeper understanding of what has worked for other countries in combating climate change, we as a country would have an effective template on how to successfully lower our emissions.
