Germanwatch: EU climate target 2040 with global leverage effect

The development and environmental NGO Germanwatch is calling on the European Union to adhere to the recommendations of the EU’s Scientific Climate Advisory Council for the 2040 climate target. The panel’s proposal for a CO2 reduction target of 90 to 95 percent by 2040 is heading in the right direction, it said. „It is ambitious, but feasible“, is Germanwatch’s assessment. The European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) has its origins in the European Climate Change Act and published its recommendations for the new climate target in mid-June.
