En attendant Godot: EU pledges to 'make our planet great again'

EU pledges to 'make our planet great again'
 The EU president said in an annual address Wednesday that, with the United States stepping away, Europe will lead the global fight against climate change.


"I want Europe to be the leader when it comes to the fight against climate change," European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker said in the annual State of the Union address.

Economic growth in the EU has outpaced the United States over the last two years, with a gain in gross domestic product at about 2.2 percent so far. Unemployment, meanwhile, is at a nine-year low and, with more than 235 million people with a job in the European economy, Juncker said employment is at levels never before seen in the EU.

"Ten years since crisis struck, Europe's economy is finally bouncing back," he said.

The EU has embarked on an effort to advance a low-carbon economy and a secure energy sector through renewable energy avenues.
