Summary:
"For the European Union's climate policy to be credible, the EU institutions and bodies need to be at the cutting edge in designing and implementing policies to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions. This special report examines how the EU institutions and bodies are tackling the challenge to contribute to the Union's 2020 goal of at least a 20% reduction in its emissions compared to 1990 by mitigating the impact of their administrative operations on the environment."-- Page [4] of cover.
