It’s been six years since the EU first agreed to slash greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030 compared to pre-industrial levels. Now, time is ticking.
The bloc-wide target, which became legally binding in 2021, is part of the EU’s longer-term plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Back in March, the European Council also adopted an interim target that requires all 27 member states to reduce their net greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent by 2040, compared to 1990.
