Summary/Abstract: The European Union (EU) played a key role in negotiating and adopting the 2015 Paris Agreement, a watershed moment in global efforts to combat climate change. By establishing an ambitious target to limit the rise in global temperatures to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the Paris Agreement calls for strong commitments from all signatory countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines how the EU has translated the Paris Agreement commitments into its environmental legislation and policies, highlighting the significant progress made towards achieving the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
