Yesterday, the EU has presented the Union’s climate target for 2040: Greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 90 percent by 2040 at the latest. The ambitious target is welcomed by Danish Shipping.
It requires ambitious targets as well as ambitious and effective implementation if we are going to make real progress in the green transition and reach the goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
Therefore, Danish Shipping welcomes the EU’s new climate target, aiming for a 90 percent reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
The EU’s new ambitious climate target acknowledges the recommendation of the European Climate Council, which points to a 90-95 percent reduction compared to 1990 levels by 2040. The Danish government has actively supported this target as the first member state.
From here, it’s about turning this impressive goal into concrete action and regulation.
“I’m pleased that the EU and the Danish government are leading the way on the climate agenda. Now, there is a significant task ahead in developing the concrete regulations necessary to make the 90 percent target a reality,” said Nina Porst, Director of Climate, Environment, and Safety at Danish Shipping.
