,The European Commission proposed a new EU climate target for 2040: to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% compared to 1990 levels. This target is a key milestone toward achieving climate neutrality by 2050 as set in the European Climate Law. The proposal builds on extensive scientific input, stakeholder consultations, and the recommendations of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change. It emphasizes the need for clean energy investments, industrial decarbonisation, carbon capture technologies, and nature-based solutions. The Commission also outlined next steps to involve Member States, industries, and citizens in preparing the legislative framework to deliver this 2040 target. This marks a pivotal move in maintaining the EU’s global climate leadership and strengthening its green, resilient, and competitive economy.
