What is the EU's primary climate goal, and how will its 2040 target contribute to its achievement?

The EU aims for climate neutrality by 2050, meaning emissions will not exceed the amount that can be absorbed. A legally binding 2030 target requires a 55% emission reduction compared to 1990 levels. New plans, still under negotiation, propose using international carbon credits starting in 2036 to offset 3% of 1990 emission levels.
