  • What is the EU doing about climate change?

    EU aims for climate neutrality by 2050
    The EU is committed to reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030, compared to 1990.
    This is also the commitment the EU has declared to the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change for the purposes of the Paris Agreement.

  • How much does the EU contribute to climate change?

    Europe has historically been one of the biggest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.
    As of the end of 2021, the countries that now make up the European Union (EU-27) had produced just over 17 percent of cumulative global carbon dioxide emissions since the Industrial Revolution began.

  • What is the EU climate change timeline?

    The EU aims to reduce emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and targets climate neutrality by 2050.
    Now, the EU is focussing on the interim year 2040, for which no target exists so far.
    This is set to become a major EU climate policy debate in 2024.

  • What is the EU climate change timeline?

    Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to net zero by 2050 is consistent with efforts to limit the long-term increase in average global temperatures to 1.5?C.
    This calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, transport and consume energy.
