This report outlines how the EU has progressed during the last year towards meeting our climate goals and international climate commitments, including, for the first time ever, an assessment of progress towards the climate neutrality and adaptation objectives, as required under the European Climate Law. Member States will submit their final updated National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in June 2024. This is an opportunity to plan additional measures to align their expected emissions with the EU’s higher level of climate policy ambition. In addition to assessing the progress made in climate policy under the Governance Regulation14, for the first time this year this report assesses progress under the European Climate Law15, including the collective progress made by Member States towards the EU’s goal to achieve climate-neutrality by 205016. It looks at progress on several aspects and from several sources and takes account of the complexity inherent in the many possible paths to achieve a net-zero and resilient economy.
