The "Fit for 55" package presents a comprehensive set of proposals aimed at reducing the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. It focuses on updating EU laws to align with the climate goals of the European Green Deal, targeting key sectors like energy, transport, and buildings.

These proposals highlight the importance of carbon pricing, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility. They also take into account the social and economic implications, ensuring a fair transition for all regions and citizens. Key initiatives include expanding the Emissions Trading System (ETS), introducing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and revising the Renewable Energy Directive.

Ultimately, the "Fit for 55" package seeks to accelerate the EU's shift to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy, while promoting innovation, competitiveness, and resilience.
