The agreement on the EU Emissions Trading System and the Social Climate Fund

 The European Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional political agreement on legislative proposals of the ‘Fit for 55’ package that will allow the EU to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and to achieve climate neutrality in 2050 while making sure the most vulnerable citizens and micro-enterprises are effectively supported in the climate transition.



The Council and Parliament agreed to increase the overall ambition of emissions reductions by 2030 in the sectors covered by the EU ETS to 62%.
