Responsibilities

The Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) leads the Commission’s efforts to fight climate change and turn the EU into a climate-neutral and resilient society. It develops and implements policies and legislation to help the EU reach its 2030 climate targets and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in a way that enables clean growth for the EU economy, is an integral part of its industrial strategy, and ensures a social and fair transition for all. DG CLIMA promotes action to make the EU better prepared for growing climate-related risks in order to strengthen societal resilience and protect people and prosperity. It works with partners across the world to encourage and support climate action by other countries and regions.
