The EU climate law: NGO recommendations on amendments

The document urges the European Parliament to amend the draft EU climate law to include a more ambitious 2030 emissions reduction target of at least 65%, binding climate-neutrality targets for individual Member States, and the establishment of an independent scientific advisory panel. It further calls for a mandatory EU roadmap for emissions reductions across all sectors, a review of all EU policies for climate consistency, improved access to justice, restrictions on fossil fuel lobbying, and the alignment of financial flows with climate goals.

• The NGOs argue that the European Commission's proposal to reduce emissions by 50-55% is insufficient to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and recommend a 2030 emissions reduction target of at least 65% that excludes offsetting by carbon sinks in the land use sector.
