It's bound to go wrong

The European Union wants to become climate-neutral by 2050. There are only five years left until the interim targets of 2030 are achieved. Therefore, it is more urgent than ever to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Otherwise, there is a risk of rising energy costs and growing dependence on third countries. The full implementation of the existing legal framework to meet the 2030 climate and energy targets is a prerequisite for the EU to stay on track to achieve the 2040 target and climate neutrality by 2050, while realising the full potential of the transition. With the current stocktaking "EU-wide assessment of the final updated national energy and climate plans. Delivering the Union's 2030 energy and climate objectives", the European Commission wants to examine whether implementation is taking place to the necessary extent.
