Climate neutrality

Pathways to carbon climate neutrality through a low-carbon energy system and land use management.

Contributes to EC priorities:

Achieving climate neutrality will require combining an accelerated decarbonisation of the energy system with sustainable land-use management, including carbon sequestration.

Our goals:

  • Steer a range of energy and land-based policies towards the climate neutrality objective while taking into account the many energy-related, ecological, and socio-economic constraints and opportunities  
  • Provide scientific input to an updated vision for EU’s climate policies  
  • Pave the way towards the 2040 and 2050 decarbonisation milestones, building on progress towards 2030 goals
