Following the introduction of new, more ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2030, the Union Registry Regulation must now be amended to reflect the new requirements.
Consultation
May’s RE-CONNECT modelling workshop series focuses on the role of national policies and commitments, notably Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) to bridge implementation and ambition gaps. The two interactive workshops will focus on deepening the understanding of modelling techniques – selecting and implementing national and international climate policies and targets to accelerate transition to climate neutrality.
The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to reflect the 'Fit for 55' outcomes in EU climate reporting templates and align them with the revised ETS Directive, Effort sharing Regulation (ESR) and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation.
The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to update the rules for accreditation of verifiers used in verifying reports within the context of the revised Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive.
Reports and studies
Energy system and integrated assessment models show that, to follow pathways compatible with the European policy target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, large amounts of renewable electricity and H2 need to be generated, mostly by scaling-up wind and solar energy production capacity.
The authors use an ensemble of global integrated assessment models to assess CO2 emissions reduction potentials in buildings and transport, accounting for system interactions. They focus on three intervention strategies with distinct emphases: reducing or changing activity, improving technological efficiency and electrifying energy end use.
This study brings together integrated assessment models and energy system models under a common framework to develop EU policy scenarios: a Current Trends scenario reflecting existing policies and trends and a Climate Neutrality scenario aligned with the EU's emission reduction target.

Event
Don't miss this essential RE-CONNECT webinar exploring just, low-carbon transitions through the findings of recent modelling studies.
The Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) announces the Eighteenth IAMC Annual Meeting to be held on November 11-13, 2025 at Hotel Atlantico Búzios, located in the city of Armação dos Búzios, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Building on this, the second workshop will provide insights on tracking the gap between current policies and targets aligned with the Paris Agreement. The presenters will discuss possible solutions and invite members from national teams to share their insights on how they track and communicate the actual progress of implementation of current climate policies in their own countries.
