European Climate Policy

European Climate Policy refers to the strategies and legislative measures devised by the European Union (EU) and its member states aimed at addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This policy framework encompasses various aspects, including setting emissions reduction targets, promoting renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and supporting sustainable economic practices. The European Climate Policy is instrumental in implementing international climate agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, and reflects the EU's commitment to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Key components may include the European Green Deal, the Emissions Trading System (ETS), and various funding mechanisms for climate action. The overarching goal is to mitigate the impacts of climate change, enhance resilience, and transition towards a sustainable and low-carbon economy in Europe.
