    Changes the EU's share of global emissions from 9% to 6.1%. Removes the zero-pollution environment requirement from water strategies. Removes the reference to meat overconsumption. Drops the call for footprint reduction targets, retaining only measures for circular economy. Other changes are formal: decimal commas replaced with points and a wording simplification.
