What are the estimated costs and potential economic impacts of the EU's new climate target, and what immediate actions are planned to address them?

The European Commission estimates that achieving the EU's new climate target will require €1.57 trillion in annual spending starting in 2031, although some investments are recoverable. Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi's report suggests a lower figure of €800 billion annually for broader investments encompassing climate action, but this is not directly comparable to Hoekstra's proposal. The plan allows for flexibility, including offsetting over-performance in some sectors against under-performance in others and the purchase of carbon emission reductions outside the EU.
