The Fit for 55 Package that the European Commission is due to adopt on 14th July is a key policy milestone to implement the European Green Deal commitment to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, while also ensuring the achievement of a zero pollution, toxic free and circular economy.
The comprehensive policy and regulatory review will have to allow Europe to step up its effort to contribute to increase our chances to keep the global average temperature rise below 1.5°C as the threshold indicated by science to avoid the climate change impacts incompatible with life on the planet.
We propose key EU-wide policy targets with precise timelines to increase ambition across the main legislative proposals accompanied by policy recommendations and supported by more information in our position papers.
