The European Climate Change Act sets ambitious decarbonisation
targets for the European Union (EU): By 2050, the EU is to become
climate neutral. The priority target is to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 55 % compared to the reference year 1990.
Achieving this target requires fundamental changes to the way we
generate and consume energy in the future.
The European Green Deal contains a vision of the European
Commission on how we can achieve the set climate protection
targets. As part of the implementation of the Green Deal, the
European Commission is working on a comprehensive legislative
package (Fit for 55 Package), because only with the right legal
framework can a successful energy transition be possible.
