In December 2020, European Union leaders reached a landmark agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. This ambitious target, an increase from the previous goal of a 40% reduction, underscores the EU’s commitment to combating climate change and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
These efforts aim to ensure that the EU remains on track to meet its 2030 target and pave the way for climate neutrality by 2050.
This agreement solidifies the EU’s leadership in global climate action, demonstrating a strong commitment to reducing emissions and encouraging other nations to adopt similarly ambitious targets.
