- Framework for achieving climate neutrality
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed law amending the EU climate law to set a 2040 target. The proposal aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, as part of the path to climate neutrality by 2050. Parliament's position includes amendments to ensure the target is met domestically and to support farmers in the transition.

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed law amending the EU climate law to set a 2040 climate target and strengthen the path to climate neutrality by 2050. The adopted text sets an EU-wide domestic target of at least 90% emission reduction by 2040 relative to 1990 levels, with a limited role for permanent removals. It also calls for support for farmers and rural communities, including funding and measures to address fuel and energy costs. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.
