BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union institutions and conservationists have given a conditional and guarded welcome to a major plan to better protect nature and fight climate change in the 27-nation bloc. The plan is a key part of the EU’s vaunted European Green Deal that seeks to establish the world’s most ambitious climate and biodiversity targets. Yet it has had an extremely rough ride through the EU’s complicated approval process and only a watered-down version will now proceed to final votes.
