EC proposes climate neutrality in EU law
20:13
The European Commission has presented a proposal to include in the EU legislation political commitment to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and presented the instruments with which it wants to measure the pursuit of this goal.
At the same time, it launched a public consultation scheduled for 12 weeks on the proposed changes.
A review and assessment of progress will take place every five years, according to the Paris Agreement – a deal within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, responsible for greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016.
On the basis of a comprehensive impact assessment, the Commission will propose a new EU 2030 target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Climate law will be changed after the impact assessment is completed.
