The environment committee of the European Parliament has approved the EU climate change law, which enshrines the EU's commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and the intermediate target of reducing net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. Before it enters into force, the text must now be voted by the full European Parliament and approved by the EU member states.
In April 2021, the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of EU nations reached a provisional agreement on the European Climate Law, strengthening climate ambitions by 2030. In addition, the text recognised the needs to enhance the EU's carbon sink through a more ambitious LULUCF (land use, land-use change and forestry) regulation and it created the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, that will provide independent scientific advice.
