New EC 2040 emission reduction target: missed opportunity for combining climate and competitiveness

IFIEC Europe expresses concern over the European Commission’s proposal for a binding climate target of 90% emission reduction by 2040. According to IFIEC, the target is unrealistic, threatens the competitiveness of European industry, and hinders a feasible transition. The organization advocates for a realistic pathway towards climate neutrality by 2050, with attention to investments, infrastructure, and international competitiveness.
