Highlights - ENVI exchange of views on 2040 climate target proposal - Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
On 14 July 2025, ENVI will hold an exchange of views on the Commission’s proposal to amend the European Climate Law by setting a 2040 target of 90% net GHG emissions reduction compared to 1990 levels
On 2 July 2025, the Commission presented a proposal to amend the European Climate Law, introducing an EU 2040 climate target to reduce net GHG emissions by 90% compared to 1990 levels. This target builds on the EU 2030 climate target of at least 55% GHG emissions reduction and sets the pathway to reach climate neutrality by 2050. The proposal introduces the possibility to use flexibilities in how the target can be met, such as the potential use of high-quality international carbon credits from 2036, inclusion of domestic permanent removals in the EU ETS, and cross-sectoral compensation mechanisms. It also outlines enabling conditions to ensure industrial competitiveness, fairness, and technological neutrality. National specificities, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness are to be taken into account. Kurt Vandenberghe, Director General of DG CLIMA, will present the proposal in ENVI on 14 July.
