Climate target 2040: VDA wants worst-case scenario calculated

In the discussion about the EU’s climate policy for 2040, the German automotive industry is warning against missing the 2030 target. In the scenarios for setting the greenhouse gas target for 2040, the EU Commission should take „a possible failure to achieve the 2030 targets“ into account, the VDA writes in its statement. Last Friday, the Commission’s corresponding consultation ended. For next year, the authority has announced a draft law for a Union-wide 2040 climate target. There is also to be an impact assessment with scenario calculations for the affected sectors.
