In 2015 the EU signed the Paris climate agreement, and in 2021 the Glasgow climate pact. Countries committed to try and keep temperature rise to 1.5° C.

The EU's 55% net emissions reduction target is not enough. 

It needs be at least 65% real emissions reductions by 2030 

The EU must ensure the revised 2030 climate and energy laws - the 'Fit for 55%' package - boost climate action in line with the science. 

This must be done in a socially fair way - WWF's asks.

• a 65% emissions reduction target for 2030, zero net emissions by 2040, and a target for carbon sinks
• an independent expert body to scrutinise EU climate policy
• all EU policies to be required to align with EU climate action
• just transition funding to depend on decarbonisation plans & deadlines
• an ambitious industrial decarbonisation policy, with only targeted use of renewable hydrogen allowed;
• EU countries to phase out fossil fuels and their subsidies, ads and sponsorship rapidly, beginning with coal;
• finance for clean technologies, for adaptation, loss and damage and scaled up climate action.
