Abstract

This advice forms part of the Advisory Board’s mandate to assess the coherence of EU climate targets with the European Climate Law and the EU’s international commitments under the Paris Agreement. It aims to support the EU in aligning its long-term climate ambition with strategic opportunities to boost resilience, competitiveness and sustainability. Building on this foundation, the current report reaffirms the Advisory Board’s 2023 recommendation, consolidates its 2024 and 2025 advice on policy opportunities to support EU climate targets, and introduces a new, dedicated recommendation on climate adaptation.
