The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to reflect the 'Fit for 55' outcomes in EU climate reporting templates and align them with the revised ETS Directive, Effort sharing Regulation (ESR) and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation.

The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to update the rules for accreditation of verifiers used in verifying reports within the context of the revised Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive.

EU rules on nitrates protect water quality by reducing and preventing pollution caused by nitrates from agriculture. This evaluation will assess how well these rules have worked and whether they are still fit for purpose in light of the EU's ambition on environmental and climate policy, and its goals to achieve a sustainable and resilient agriculture and food security.

This study by Fragkos et al. examines the extent to which Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term Targets (LTTs) can contribute to achieving ambitious climate goals.

Muller-Casseres et al. perform a multi-IAM analysis of international shipping and show the potential for decreasing annual emissions in the next decades. Results show reductions of up to 86% by 2050, with this primarily achieved through the deployment of low-carbon fuels such as drop-in biofuels, renewable alcohols and green ammonia.

Otte et al. investigate the long-term (2020–2054) economic profitability of solar-based prosumption on islands belonging to the European Union (EU), soft-linking energy system modelling and actor-related cash-flow analysis.

The European Commission has launched the Communities for Climate (C4C) pilot action, designed to empower local communities across Europe to take meaningful steps towards addressing climate change.
