00:00Is Europe quietly giving up on climate protection?
00:03The EU's Green Deal once promised a climate-neutral future by 2050,
00:07but that dream is starting to unravel.
00:09Under growing pressure from industry, agriculture lobbies,
00:12and rising far-right influence,
00:14key climate regulations are being rolled back or delayed.
00:17Thousands of companies no longer need to report environmental impacts,
00:21weakening transparency for investors and the public.
00:24Supply chain rules meant to stop human rights abuses and deforestation?
00:28Now watered down and apply only to giant corporations.
00:32Even the rule to ban deforestation-linked products like soy and beef
00:36has been delayed until 2026,
00:38despite the EU driving 10% of global deforestation.
00:42In farming, pesticide rules were scrapped after protests,
00:45and inspections will now be limited to once a year,
00:48even as agriculture plays a major role in climate change.
00:52And the bold move to phase out combustion engine cars by 2035?
00:56Now up for review!
00:57Instead of cutting emissions by 95% as scientists recommend,
01:01the EU is aiming for just 85%,
01:04and even buying part of that abroad.
01:06The big question is,
01:07are we witnessing a strategic reset,
01:09or a slow retreat from climate responsibility?
01:12let's make a step down...
01:14that's a nice step through a switch from here.
01:17Let's see if you move to the next study...
01:18Let's go.
01:20Do you have a new idea.
01:21Let's go over 20.
01:22Be careful.
01:23Let's go over 20 minutes.
