Europe's slow climate change progress
July 16, 2004
The European Union's climate emissions fell only slightly from 2001 to 2002, the European Environment Agency (EEA) says.
But the fall followed two years during which greenhouse gas emissions actually rose, so it does mark some progress.
The EEA says the EU has taken a small step towards meeting its target under the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement on tackling climate change.
But it warns the states concerned that they have much more to do if they are actually to meet their commitments.
The EEA news release and The BBC news website both have further information.
