The objective of this study is to determine the relationships between short-term and long-term emission targets of EU emissions reduction pathways – specifically to assess the 2020 target from a 2050 perspective.
More than a goal in itself, the 2050 target is a means to maintain the global temperature increase below 2C.
The study evaluates the consistency of the short-term and long-term targets from an economic point of view.
