A climate neutral EU - what does it mean?
The Council s and the European Parliament s negotiators reached a provisional political agreement setting into law the objective of a climate-neutral EU by 2050, and a collective, net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target (emissions after deduction of removals) of at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990.
We are very happy with the provisional deal reached today. The European climate law is the law of laws that sets the frame for the EU s climate-related legislation for the 30 years to come. The EU is strongly committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050 and today we can be proud to have set in stone an ambitious climate goal that can get everyone s support. With this agreement we send a strong signal to the world - right ahead of the Leader s Climate Summit on 22 April - and pave the way for the Commission to propose its fit-for-55 climate package in June.
