On the path to climate neutrality

Under the European Climate Law, the EU committed to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The ‘Fit for 55’ package of legislation makes all sectors of the EU’s economy fit to meet this target. It sets the EU on a path to reach its climate targets in a fair, cost-effective and competitive way.
