EU Climate Policy

EU Climate Policy refers to the framework of legislation, strategies, and initiatives established by the European Union to address climate change and promote sustainable development within its member states. It encompasses a range of actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. The policy is guided by international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, and includes targets for emission reductions, support for innovation and research, and measures to protect natural habitats and biodiversity. EU Climate Policy also promotes the concept of a circular economy, encourages sustainable transportation, and aims to improve resilience against climate impacts. Through these efforts, the EU strives to meet its commitments to combat climate change and drive the transition towards a low-carbon economy.
