The Commission's proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 puts Europe on a responsible path to becoming climate neutral by 2050. Based on a comprehensive impact assessment, the Commission proposed to increase the EU's ambitions in the area of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and set this more ambitious path for the next 10 years. The assessment shows how all sectors of the economy and society can contribute and sets out the policy measures needed to achieve this.
