The EU has taken global leadership by committing to cut its emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases by at least 20% of their 1990 levels by 2020. It has also set itself the target of obtaining 20% of its energy supply from renewable energy sources by the same deadline. A package of binding legislation ensures these targets will be met.
The EU’s fight against climate change goes hand-in-hand with an ambitious energy policy.

This will strengthen the EU's competitiveness, boost the economy and create new jobs.
