Climate action Network (CAN Europe) has launched a national energy and climate plans tracker tool which, it says, highlights “disparities” between national climate and energy commitments and the actual emission reductions and energy transition at country level.

In the aftermath of the European Commission’s announcement of intending to set a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for the entire EU by 2040, the new tool claims to reveal that climate action on the ground does not go at the speed needed.

The group says that the tracker shows that most of the new plans lack key targets that are crucial for an effective implementation.

This is notably the case for sectoral climate targets, as for agriculture or transport, which, while not strictly mandatory under the Governance Regulation, are fundamental for assessing the level of ambition and monitoring the implementation of the policies and measures towards the 2030 climate and energy targets.
