Infographic - Fit for 55: how the EU will turn climate goals into law

The European Council has set the goal for the EU to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990, and become climate neutral by 2050. By the European climate law, these goals are binding for the EU and its member states.

To reach these goals, EU member states need to take concrete measures to reduce emissions and decarbonise the economy. New rules and updates of EU legislation are needed to make the green transition a reality.

The Fit for 55 package is a set of legislative proposals and amendments to existing EU legislation that will help the EU cut its net greenhouse gas emissions and reach climate neutrality.

The infographic explains the Fit for 55 package, the key areas of action for the EU to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the decision-making process for turning the proposals into EU law.
