EU in last-minute talks to set new climate goal for COP30
The EU aims for a unanimous 2035 emissions target, proposing a legally binding cut between 66.25% and 72.5%, to uphold its global climate leadership role.
- On Tuesday, EU ministers must agree a unanimous 2035 NDC as talks among the EU's 27 member states are expected to stretch into the night before COP30 in Belem, Brazil.
- After years leading on climate, the EU has seen a political shift to the right with defence and competitiveness displacing climate, though the European Commission proposed a 90 percent emissions cut by 2040 and the EU mobilised 31.7 billion euros in public climate finance in 2024.
- A commission proposal on carbon credits, supported by Spain, Nordic countries, and Germany, faces opposition from Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Italy, with some countries advocating a review clause in the 2040 climate law.
- Ministers are expected Tuesday to formalise a 66.25 percent to 72.5 percent range as the bloc's legally binding 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement, but EU capitals have not yet endorsed deeper steps due to economic concerns.
- Civil-Society voices warned that Paris negotiators seek nuclear sector guarantees, clean industry funding and forestry flexibility, while the EU emissions cut 37 percent since 1990 raises COP30 credibility stakes.
