Tag #Climate Target

What is the European Union's proposed new climate target, and what factors are driving its expedited timeline?

The European Commission will propose a new European climate target before the end of March, aiming for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. This ambitious target, if adopted, would surpass other submitted plans, such as the UK's 81% reduction target. The deadline for submitting these targets under the Paris Agreement was missed by most countries, including the EU.
