INTRODUCTION
There has been augmentation in the greenhouse gas emission and climate change in
this present digitalized and globalized world. With a view curb this problem and global issue,
several nations have adopted different strategies and devised plans. The current research
report also involves evaluation of one such ambitious plan of European Union of reducing
greenhouse gas emission to at least 55% by the end of the year 2030. EU is planning to
become carbon neutral by 2030. This is substantial increase in comparison with the current
targets upwards from the preceding target of at least 40 percent. The report will going to
analyse the ways through which EU will be able to attain such goal and meet the terms with
the estimated goals and standards of the Paris agreement. The report will also going to focus
on whether the western world become truly carbon neutral and attain the zero emission by
2030.
WAYS IN WHICH EUROPEAN UNION WILL ACHIEVE THIS GOAL
The commission has proposed to increase the ambition of European Union on
decreasing greenhouse gas emission at least 55 percent with the 2030 climate target plan.
However, this target is quite more than the previous target which is at last 40 percent. The
European Union have detailed in regards with the manner they will going to attain this goal in
line with the goals and standards of the Paris Agreement for keeping the global temperature
increase to well below 2 degree Celsius and pursuing efforts to maintain it to 1.5 degree
Celsius. In this regards, the first changes in the policy is to expand the emission trading
scheme of bloc (2030 Climate Target Plan, 2021). In this plan, the businesses are allowed to
allowance their trade with a view to keep the overall amount of greenhouse gas emission in
relation with installation as well as aircraft operators remains in a specific cap. Furthermore,
the commission also desire to segment out free emission allowances for the aviation industry
and will also going to include shipping industry as well. Besides, the new cars and vans will
required to be zero emission vehicles by the end of the year 2035 which signifies that
charging points will be recurrently obtainable on major highways. Secondly, the EU is
planning to introduce a carbon border adjustment mechanism which will be designated as an
environmental tax. This tax has been premeditated for discontinuing the products being
prepared in another place with no strict emission rules and bringing the imported one into the
European Union. If this happens then the businesses in EU will have to environment tax for
importing the products from outer the bloc. In addition to this, the commission also possess
awareness in regards with the cost being involved in such type of proposals (Amaro, 2021).
