EU Climate Law: Forging Europe’s green future
Position Paper
30 Jun 2020
Energy

AmCham EU member companies are keen to support the establishment of a well-designed framework that fosters the development of efficient and cost-effective solutions to achieve the EU’s goal of climate neutrality.

This paper illustrates AmCham EU’s willingness to inform the policy debate, particularly on key aspects such as the definition of climate neutrality at EU level and the development of an enabling and coherent policy framework.  As our members work to understand the possible impact of EU climate neutrality on their business strategies, some areas of the law remain unclear. We hope that as the process evolves the needs and wants will become clearer, so that expectations can be met efficiently.
