The European Commission’s press release highlights the ‘Fit for 55’ legislative package, a bold initiative designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This package sets revised targets for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and introduces the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to ensure fair competition.
It also aims to phase out polluting vehicles by 2035 and expand alternative fuel infrastructure. As part of the European Green Deal, ‘Fit for 55’ demonstrates the EU’s commitment to climate leadership, innovation, and international cooperation for a sustainable future.
