“Climate crisis & energy dependency: the ‘Fit for 55’ package to accelerate Europe’s green transition”

Ahead of the June and July plenaries, key MEPs will present important parts of the Fit for 55 Package in the context of the changing energy situation caused partly by the war in Ukraine.

Achieving climate neutrality by 2050 is the EU's long-term objective. In the shorter run, all focus is on the Fit for 55 package of legislation to revise and update current climate, energy and transport-related legislation to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 and to become independent from expensive and polluting fossil fuels from Russia well before 2030.
