The EU 2040 Climate Target
The European Union's 2040 climate target aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90% compared to 1990 levels, setting a clear path to climate neutrality by 2050. Achieving this will require full implementation of the 2030 goals and alignment of policies with fossil fuel phase-out, while ensuring a just transition. The EU emphasises the potential for innovation, job creation, and leadership in clean technology as part of this ambitious climate strategy.
