Fit for 55 is a package by the European Union designed to reduce the European Union's greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.[1] It is part of the union's strategy of the European Green Deal presented first in December 2019.[2]
The package was proposed in July 2021 by the European Commission.[3] After being tabled in 2021, the plans were passed in 2023.[4] Measures include additional support for clean transport, renewables, and a tariff called the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on emissions for high-carbon imports from countries lacking sufficient greenhouse gas reduction measures of their own.[1] It proposes to extend the European Union Emissions Trading System to transport and heat. Compared to the net-zero scenario from the International Energy Agency, the plan contains more measures to ensure that energy remains affordable.[5]
