Analysis: EU Climate Targets, Paris Agreement & Carbon Neutrality

This report assesses the European Union's climate targets, particularly the goal of achieving carbon neutrality and zero emissions by 2030, in the context of the Paris Agreement. It evaluates the EU's strategies, including policies related to transport, land use, and emissions trading, and examines their effectiveness in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The report identifies key objectives set by the EU, such as fostering a resource-efficient economy and promoting sustainable development. It also highlights potential gaps and inconsistencies in the EU's approach, emphasizing the need for stronger action and improved coordination to meet the ambitious targets. The analysis concludes that while the EU has made strides in climate policy, further efforts are necessary to ensure compliance with the Paris Agreement and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. Desklib offers access to similar reports and study tools for students.

INTRODUCTION
Carbon emission is the total amount of the greenhouse gasses that is created due to the
several commercial and societal actions conducted by people. In the current era, level of
conducting practices has inclined which requires to pay attention on gaining depth understanding
about this crucial issue. It is one of the significant component that is adversely affecting the
climate condition. The current study is based on UN Climate Change Conference that focus on
evaluating and monitoring changes occurring in the climate. It focuses on overcoming the
challenge occurring due to this issue through focusing on developing target plan 2030 for
improving climate. This is responsible for having climate advocacy so that building support for
having participatory approach for improving climate. 2030 climate target plan has created the
ten years ambition plan for improving the prevailing circumstances by formulating effective
performance. the current study will help in gaining the relevant understanding about this by
evaluating presented target plan.
MAIN BODY
Evaluating how the EU will achieve the targets & compliance with Paris agreement and analysis
of organization becoming carbon neutral and zero emissions by 2030
In the recent environment, competition among the organizations has inclined which has
forced firm to take any action that can allow the productive and gain competitiveness so that
overcoming obstacles can become possible. The particular conference has formulated the target
plan regarding reducing of greenhouse gasses and setting action for improving the performance in
society (Skjærseth, 2018). there are few key elements which has been focused by this conference
by creating target plan so that formulating decarbonise economy can be made. This is
emphasized to be exerted by having appropriate formulation of policies into EU climate
legislation. The areas for which the policies have been formulated involves transport and land use,
ETS, effort sharing regulations, etc.
There are few objectives which has been set by this for accomplishing by 2050 in turn
gaining accurate path for taking relevant action can become possible. This includes setting cost
effective & more ambitious path, formulation of green jobs for green house emission declination
and motivating international partner to neglect consequences of climate change (2030 Climate
Target Plan, 2022). It has involved the evaluation regarding emission on heat, power, electricity,

aviation, etc. so that cap and trade system can be created. The main reason for formulating such
policies is to ensure the protection of environment and promotion of sustainable development in
turn accomplishing the objective can become possible.
The main of the EU is to have fair & prosperous society comprising the crucial modern,
resource efficient & competitive economy. In addition to this, much emphasis has been provided
on having effective utilization of EU natural resources healthy & wellbeing of people, ensuring
eliminating of risk prevailing related to environment and climate (Ollier and et.al., 2022). From
the evaluation, it can be interpreted that it has been found to be important for the country to
concentrate on mitigating existential consequences. This pay attention on building the strong
track record of climate change & parallel economic growth. Under the Paris agreement the EU
has given focus on having comprehensive update of its energy policy framework for facilitating
transition in order to deliver crucial outcomes. It involves legal framework related to renewable
energy source at least 32%, reducing greenhouse gas emission by more than 40%, domestic
reduction of DHG of minimum 40%, etc. It can be specified that under the Paris agreement it has
been mentioned that its alone policies would not be enough for reducing the goal & commitment
made.
From the assessment it be interpreted that the taken action is not sufficient as there are only
few areas are targeted. It can be analysed that the current trend shows that risk incentivising
decision are inconsistent which are required to be improved. It can be articulated that there is
huge gap between the actual action conducted & estimated which indicates deviation in derived
performance. There is certain risk which are delaying the action to be conducted and resulting in
appropriate coordination with regulatory framework which is reflecting that efforts & benefits
both will be postponed. On the basis of the conducted evaluation it can be interpreted that there
are difficulties in emission n in the transport sector, land use, non CO2 emission, etc. which are
required to be improved in order to have effective practices.
In order to attain the specified goal, the major activity that has been taken into
consideration by involving inclining the ambition of EU emission trading, efforts sharing
regulations, land use forestry & agriculture, social climate fund, CO2 emission performance
standards for car & vans, etc. These policies are helpful in receiving the appropriate level
outcome to cope up with formulated targeted plan (Skjærseth, 2021). The other legislation

proposed involves strengthening the market stability reserved, updating member state emission
target, etc.
On the basis of given information, it can be specified that organizations can become able to
get carbon neutral and zero emissions by 2030 via following the articulated legislation. This is
reflecting that companies need to take more crucial actions in turn higher sustainable
environment can be created.On the basis of conducted evaluation, it can be mentioned that the
mentioned actions are found to be insufficient in order to comply with targets articulated so it is
interpreted to have more concern in this respect to get positive results.
CONCLUSION
From the above report, it can be concluded that carbon emission has the adverse impact
on the climate change. There are several type of operational practices that are conducted by7
companies in the different sector that contributes in increasing the carbon emission which leads
to result in frequent change in the climate. In order to become successful in respect to reduce the
CO2 impact on environment more emphasis is provided on optimum utilization resources,
effective compliance with ETS, effort sharing regulations, etc. the current report has involved
detailed evaluation which indicates that articulated strategies for achieving objectives is
insufficient and more emphasis on inclining accurate adherence with legislation needed to be
provided.
