AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed law amending the EU climate law to set a 2040 target.
The proposal aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, as part of the path to climate neutrality by 2050.
Parliament's position includes amendments to ensure the target is met domestically and to support farmers in the transition.
