A proposed Green Deal will mobilise 100 billion euros worth of investment to urge the bloc's economies to move away from fossil fuels.
The bloc's 27 national leaders will meet in Brussels from 1400 GMT, a day after the bloc's executive proposed a Green Deal to mobilise 100 billion euros worth of investment to help the bloc's economies move away from fossil fuels.
"There will certainly be an amount of arm-wrestling," said a senior EU diplomat from a country more enthusiastic about the 2050 goal."There will have to be new money... but some member states will be less than enthusiastic about the target of raising 100 billion euros." The climate discussion feeds into another difficult one the leaders will have, namely on their next long-term budget.
The summit will be notable for the absence of British prime minister Boris Johnson, staying at home for a national election he is fighting on a promise to get Brexit done.
