European Commission launches public consultation to gather stakeholder views on EU 2030 climate ambition increase

On 31 March 2020, the European Commission launched a consultation which aims to gather opinions from a range of stakeholders on the EU’s 2030 climate ambition increase, and on the action and policy design necessary for deeper greenhouse gas emission reductions.

The European Commission intends to put forward a comprehensive plan to increase the EU’s 2030 climate target in September this year. As part of this, the European Commission is proposing to increase the EU’s current 2030 target of at least -40% greenhouse gas emission reductions to at least -50% and towards -55%, compared to 1990 emission levels.

The consultation closes on 23 June 2020.
