The EU’s 2030 climate target: NGO views on the European Commission’s proposals
Posted on September, 29 2020
The Commission's proposal is inadequate and irresponsible.
We are in a race against time. Forests are burning, ice sheets are collapsing and the window for stopping runaway climate change is closing.

In this paper, eight NGOs set out their views on the EU Commission's 2030 climate target proposal.
