EU Climate Target 2040: Assessment of the Commission Proposal

News 07/03/2025

On 2 July 2025, the European Commission presented its proposal for the EU’s 2040 climate target as well as for the revision of the European Climate Law. The draft foresees a 90 percent reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. This is a key milestone on the EU’s path to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. At the same time, however, the proposal includes “flexibilities” that, according to analyses by Oeko-Institut, could weaken the impact of real emission reductions.
