Most recent monitoring suggests that the EU and its Member States risk missing their climate and energy targets for 2030. Emissions are not decreasing at the required pace. The growth of renewables is still too sluggish in many countries.
Against this background, the European Commission’s communication on new climate targets beyond 2030 is a pivotal document, only a few months before the end of the legislative term.
With the perspective of a new European Parliament and a new European Commission, this webinar will discuss: What needs to be the level of ambition until 2040? Which pathways should the EU choose for accelerating its energy transition? What is next after the ‘Fit for 55’ package?
