EU Climate Law adopted

The European Climate Law turns our European Green Deal targets into legal obligations:

  • reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030
  • reaching climate neutrality by 2050

Today’s deal between the co-legislators also introduces:

  • a process for setting a 2040 climate target
  • a commitment to negative emissions after 2050
  • the establishment of European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change
  • stronger provisions on adaptation to climate change

Climate neutrality will shape the EU’s green recovery and a socially just green transition. (source: European Commission)
