EU Faces Legal Challenges Over 2030 Climate Targets and Green Labeling for Planes

Environmental groups argue the EU's emissions rules and green investment criteria are insufficient to meet Paris Agreement goals.

  • Climate Action Network and Global Legal Action Network have filed lawsuits against the European Commission.
  • Campaigners claim the EU's sector-specific emission limits are not based on best climate science.
  • The lawsuits seek to strengthen the EU's 2030 climate policy and revise green labeling for aviation.
  • The cases have been given priority status and could be heard in 2025.
  • Campaigners argue the current policies could fail to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
