The EU's 2040 Climate Target(s) - what to expect?

  • Summary

  • The EU’s 2040 Climate Target(s): hope in difficult times or empty promises?


    In 2025, the European Union will attempt to formalise a binding target for emission reduction in 2040. This would complement the existing 55% reduction target for 2030 and a climate neutrality target for 2050.


    As of today, the European Commission plans to recommend an ambitious 90% reduction target for 2040. In the current political landscape, this will be a contested proposal.


    What about the role of carbon dioxide removal? Will we be seeing the much asked for dedicated durable CDR target?


    For the last CDR Policy Scoop of the year, Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart dive into this hot topic, which will likely shape much of 2025’s climate advocacy work in the EU.
