CAN Europe’s feedback to EU Commission call for evidence European Climate Law amendment on EU 2040 climate target The proposed 2040 climate target lags behind a science-aligned and fair EU contribution. Both the Commission’s own Impact Assessment and the ESABCC recommend a 90-95% net domestic target, and indicate that higher ambition levels are most beneficial and better reflect equity principles.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)

As the fastest-warming continent, Europe is facing a severe crisis that will not impact the European population homogeneously. We advocate for an approach sensitive to the particularities of vulnerable groups, which will face more severe climate-related consequences, while having a lesser ability to face them.

As stated by the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) in 2023, the European Union must achieve a minimum 90% reduction in domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 to fulfill its commitments under the Paris Agreement.

The revision of the Governance Regulation presents an opportunity to reinforce the EU's framework for planning, monitoring, and delivering the energy transition beyond 2030, while preserving what has worked and without altering the existing 2030 architecture. Binding targets must remain the foundation.
