Background
The European Climate Law (ECL) obliges the EU to adopt a legally-binding 2040 climate target. To this end, the Commission must present a legislative proposal by May 2024. This proposal will be the start of a legislative process aimed at amening the ECL and implementing EU measures.
Project
The project analyses the ambition level of the 2040 target. It also examines the impacts of a new 2040 target on EU Member States, sectors, and instruments. Additionally, the project aims to inform a broad debate about the 2040 target in the EU, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and other EU Member States.
