(-1) The existential threat posed by climate change requires enhanced ambition and increased climate action by the Union and the Member States. The Union is committed to stepping up efforts to tackle climate change and to delivering on the implementation of the Paris Agreement on the basis of equity and best available science, taking its fair share of the global effort to limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre- industrial levels.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality shouldDelivering on the objectives of the Paris Agreement, in particular by achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2040 at the latest, requires a contribution from all economic ll economic sectors to rapidly reduce their emissions to closec tors zero. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and securehighly energy efficient fully renewables- based energy system relying on a well- functioning internal energy market is essential. The digital transformation, technologicalUnion and the Member States will need to adopt ambitious and coherent regulatory frameworks, including on innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality, to ensure the contribution of all sectors of the economy to the Union's climate objectives.

(7) The Union has been pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action and has put in place a regulatory framework to achieve its current 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target adopted before the entry into force of the Paris Agreement. The legislation implementing this target consists, inter alia, of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council26 , which establishes a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council27 , which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council28 , which requires Member States to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry. By 30 June 2021 at the latest, the Commission should revise those legislations, together with all the relevant sectoral legislation to take into account the Union's increased 2030 climate target and the net zero GHG emissions objective set out in this Regulation. _________________ 26Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275 of 25 October 2003, p. 32). 27Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26). 28 Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 1).

(12) To fulfil its commitment to achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement, the Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutionsinks, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutralityas early as possible and by 2040 at the latest, and to achieve negative emissions thereafter. The net zero GHG emissions objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and the Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective.

It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 37 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 12030 climate target and the net zero greenhouse gas emissions should be proposed by the Commission and adopted by the European parliament and the Council under the ordinary legislative procedure.
