Question for written answer E-000551/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maria Ohisalo (Verts/ALE)
An EU-wide climate target for 2040 is to be set under the European Climate Law[1]. To that end, at the latest within six months of the first global stocktake referred to in Article 14 of the Paris Agreement[2], the Commission was to make a legislative proposal incorporating an EU 2040 climate target. The first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement concluded at the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in December 2023[3].
When will the Commission publish a legislative proposal for an EU 2040 climate target in order to ensure that the EU and its Member States adopt revised national climate action plans (i.e. nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) reflecting the 2040 target in a timely manner ahead of COP30?
