Last night's #EUCO was a key moment to shape the path towards the proposed 90% #2040Target
While still insufficient, this target brings opportunity to strengthen EU competitiveness.
Environment ministers must now adopt at least 90% net reductions by 2040 and submit the #NDC ahead of #COP30.

The 2040target discussion may take attention away from the implementation of the 2030 policy portfolio. The communication is written with the objective of hindering this. The Commission focus on ensuring that the target debate increases the focus on implementation. 5/n

#Klimaschutz beginnt vor der eigenen Haustür. Die EU muss ihr Versprechen halten und ihre CO2-Emissionen bis 2040 um min. 90% senken. Diese Anstrengungen dürfen nicht in den globalen Süden ausgelagert werden, um daheim im fossilen Zeitalter stecken zu bleiben. #2040Target

The report on the EU 2040 climate target is now in the hands of the far right…. Holy F!
That should be a wake-up call for all pro-European forces in this Parliament.
If we want to save the 2040 target from climate deniers, we need the urgency procedure NOW!

🌍 The EU's #2040Target risks becoming a patchwork of loopholes: backloading, carbon offsets, inflated removals & sectoral swaps.
📉 These aren't tweaks, they are dangerous shortcuts that undermine trust, ambition & global leadership.
