EU policies for climate neutrality in the decisive decade
The discussion paper pulls together expertise from across the Agora Think Tanks. As a starting point for a dialogue, we make recommendations for 20 policy initiatives across all sectors to advance EU policies for climate neutrality in this decisive decade.
Transport is the only sector in the EU to have seen an increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the past 20 years. For passenger cars, the discussion paper recommends annual targets for CO2 limits on the way to a Europe-wide phase-out of combustion engines by 2035. The EU can also promote a faster electrification of passenger car fleets with an evaluation system for the tax regulations of the member states. The discussion paper also makes proposals for the rail, public transport, aviation and shipping sectors.
