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
