Does the EU rollback of 2035 car emissions ban risk undermining Europe’s climate goals?

European officials on Tuesday moved to ease their ban on sales of cars with internal combustion engines by 2035, responding to pressure from governments and automakers.

Currently, EU law mandates that all new cars after 2035 need to have zero CO2 emissions. But, after industry pressure from some member states and the automotive industry, this target has now been watered down.
