Key points
- The European Union aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, aligning with the Paris Agreement.
- Cohesion policy must be used as a primary tool to support less developed regions in tackling climate change impacts.
- A 'just transition' is required to protect workers and communities in sectors that will decline due to the move away from fossil fuels.
- Special attention and additional resources must be provided to islands and outermost regions which are highly vulnerable to climate change.
