Overview

• Large-scale farmer protests across Europe have led to the indefinite postponement of a major EU climate and nature protection plan.
• Hungary's withdrawal of support for the plan, citing agricultural concerns, was a key factor in the deadlock.
• The plan aimed to restore a significant portion of the EU's habitats by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
• Upcoming EU parliamentary elections in June add to the complexity of resolving the deadlock.
• Environmentalists express disappointment as the postponement signals a potential pause in environmental actions to protect economic competitiveness.
