Summary

The European Union is committed to addressing climate change by achieving climate neutrality by 2050 through a series of ambitious, legally binding targets. Its strategy includes a net domestic reduction of at least 55% in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and a proposed 90% reduction by 2040, driven by policies like the European Green Deal and significant investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Provisional data for 2023 indicates the EU is on track to meet its 2030 target, having substantially increased its solar and wind power capacity.
