Report: Scientific advice for the determination of an EU-wide 2040 climate target and a greenhouse gas budget for 2030–2050
In the report, the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change provides EU institutions with a science-based estimate of a 2040 climate target and an EU greenhouse gas emissions budget for the period 2030-2050. The findings, based on rigorous analysis considering both fairness and feasibility, highlight the urgent need for ambitious actions to address climate change. The report also outlines possible pathways and related overarching policy choices to achieve the necessary emission reductions.
