EU climate targets 2030 and 2045 at risk

The countries of the European Union are on track to significantly miss their planned climate target. Instead of the planned minus 55 percent in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the measures taken so far only yield a reduction of minus 40 percent. With planned additional measures, the gap to the target is reduced to minus 45 percent. This is one of the findings of the EU Commission’s first progress report on achieving European climate neutrality.
