Feedback: 2030 Climate Target Plan
EuroACE gave its feedback on the Commission’s inception impact assessment of the 2030 Climate Target Plan.
- A higher 2030 climate target to reach climate neutrality by 2050: the 2030 target should be to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels, giving industry and investors a clear indication of where to go
- Supported by a higher 2030 energy efficiency target: the target trio approach (GHG, energy efficiency and renewables) is key, and a higher GHG target implies higher energy efficiency and renewables targets. The bottom-up potential for energy efficiency lies at 40% by 2030
- A leading vision for improved energy legislation in 2021: the buildings sector has the biggest potential in terms of efficiency gains, equating to half of the decarbonisation measures needed to achieve the Paris Agreement goal
