European Commission proposes Net Zero Climate Law

9 March 2020

The European Commission has published its proposed 'European climate law' setting a binding EU target of net zero greenhouse emissions by 2050.

The proposal also provides for the Commission to review its current 2030 climate targets and includes a controversial power allowing the Commission to set a trajectory for emissions reductions from 2030 to 2050. This law will entail the strengthening of renewable energy, energy efficiency and interconnection targets and will lead to the introduction of more stringent measures at EU and national level designed to cut emissions. This briefing considers the detail of the proposal.
