EMISSIONS: EU Must Strengthen 2040 Target to Meet 1.5C Climate Goal:WWF

EMISSIONS
BulletPower BulletsEnergy BulletsCommodities

WWF warns that the EC’s proposed 90% emissions reduction by 2040 lacks the ambition needed to fairly align with the 1.5C goal, with weaker interim targets for 2030 and insufficient action in key sectors—energy, industry, transport, agriculture, and land use, WWF said.

  • The EU’s 2030 target aims for a 55% reduction in emissions, falling short of the IPCC’s recommended 57% and highlighting an ambition gap, WWF added.
  • Additionally, the proposed 2040 target of a 90% emissions cut is more in line with IPCC guidance but still fails to fully account for historical emissions and the EU’s fair share of global climate efforts.
  • And the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality goal aligns with IPCC guidance, but weaker earlier targets risk excessive emissions, threatening the 1.5C limit.
  • To bridge these gaps, the EU must implement stronger policies, accelerate emission reductions, and ensure fair and equitable climate action, WWF said.
