France sets framework for EU climate targets for 2040

On July 2, the European Commission is due to present its proposal for a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2040. France is already opening the debate and setting its priorities for future climate policy.

The battle to meet Europe's 2040 climate targets has begun. On July 2, the European Commission is due to present its proposals for reducing CO2 emissions.

It is expected to announce a 90% reduction to take the EU towards carbon neutrality by 2050.

This proposal comes at a time when the European Green Deal is being questioned and the EU's competitiveness is being strengthened in the face of international competition.

Member states are preparing their political arguments for the debate. France has already taken the first offensive at last week's European summit, setting out its framework./CNA
