Far-Right Patriots Take Lead on EU Climate Target Talks

EUROPEAN UNION, JUL 8 – The far-right Patriots for Europe group will shape the EU's 2040 climate emissions target, opposing the European Green Deal and aiming to limit economic burdens on industry, officials said.

  • Backlash over EU policies like the Green Deal and sector burdens led Patriots for Europe to outbid the EPP for the climate negotiation role through a closed-door meeting.
  • Patriots for Europe, third-largest in the parliament with 11 ENVI seats, will appoint the rapporteur and lead climate negotiations, gaining significant influence over the EU's 2040 target.
  • Despite opposition from progressive groups proposing a fast-track vote, EU environment ministers are set to debate the target in mid-July, amid rising right-wing influence, as Patriots for Europe resists ambitious climate policies.
  • Formal trilogue negotiations on the EU's 2040 climate target are set to begin in late 2025, aiming to conclude before COP30 in Brazil, with the final legally binding agreement expected by year's end.
