EU calls for 90 percent emissions cut by 2040

The European Commission is set to recommend a 90% reduction in the EU's net greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, signaling the continuation of Europe's fight against climate change ahead of EU elections.

The 2040 target will help industry, investors, citizens, and governments make long-term decisions in line with the EU's climate neutrality objective, reducing the risks of stranded assets.
