ELSIA Fit-for-55-flyer The Fit for 55 package, as part of the EU Green Deal and with the EU Climate Law, aims to deliver the EU’s 2030 climate target on its path to climate neutrality.

The Fit for 55 package is a set of proposals to revise and update EU legislation and put in place new initiatives to ensure that all EU policies are in line with climate goals of reducing GHG emissions by 55% by 2030. 

During this zoom meeting, Dr Gregor Erbach*, head of the Climate Action and Tracking Service of the European Parliament Research Service, will present key features of this initiative and answer questions from the audience moderated by Stefan Lunte, Secretary General of Justice and Peace Europe. 

This conversation comes at an important time as the trialogue is underway on many of the topics included in the Fit for 55 package and  we celebrate the Season of Creation.
