The Centre for Environmental Justice response to the European Commission’s proposed 2040 target for carbon emissions reductions
Carbon credits are not a fast or cost-effective solution to Europe’s need to decarbonise.
We call on the EU to continue its practice of achieving its binding climate targets domestically for the 2040 goal, as enshrined in the EU Climate law, for the 2030 target and for the 2050 climate neutrality goal.
