Key points

The proposal seeks to establish a new binding EU-wide climate target for the year 2040.
A recommended reduction of 90% in net greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels is being considered.
The use of high-quality international credits could contribute up to 5% towards the 2040 target starting from 2036.
The role of domestic permanent carbon removals will be integrated into the emissions trading system to help hard-to-abate sectors.
