New #ECNO assessment of progress to climate neutrality reveals key actions for incoming EU policy-makers:.1️⃣ Effective #implementation of existing policies. 2️⃣ Unlock #EnablingConditions. 3️⃣ Align #finance with the transition. 4️⃣ People-centred approach. 👉

Under current and planned policies, agricultural emissions will drop by only 5% by 2030. Learn how the EU could improve the competitiveness of and build a stronger, more resilient food system. Read our full briefing:

More people in the EU are buying plant-based proteins and eating less beef. But 80% of farm subsidies still go to animal-based food production. New analysis from ECNO shows the growing gap between what people are eating and EU food policy.

The @EU_Commission has published its proposal for a 2040 climate target. It includes a focus on “enabling conditions” needed for the transition, an approach ECNO has been championing. Get the latest progress on enabling conditions across the economy here

Reducing food waste can help reduce emissions, build stronger supply chains, and lower the need for imports. Read our briefing to get the full story: (3/3).

Our analysis reveals key challenges:. 📌 Waste from consumers and manufacturers is rising despite existing commitments to reduce food waste.📌 Fragmented policies and data gaps are holding back progress.📌 Over 37 million EU citizens struggle to afford a quality meal.

Food waste goes far beyond what’s tossed in the bin. It's a sign of deeper inefficiencies in EU food systems, with major climate, social, and economic impacts. New research from ECNO shows that food waste is a major barrier to the EU climate neutrality goals. 🧵 (1/3)

The EU committed to climate neutrality by 2050, but existing EU monitoring efforts remain insufficient. That’s where ECNO steps in. We fill this gap with rigorous analysis, going beyond emissions to assess the drivers of change. Follow us for insights on the climate transition.

Want to understand whether the EU is on course for 2050? Follow ECNO for more data-driven insights on how Europe is navigating the path to climate neutrality and shaping a sustainable future. (5/5)

Our research reveals obstacles on the path toward a clean, competitive economy by tracking the enablers that drive change, including markets, infrastructure, and access to clean alternatives. (4/5)

We work with top research groups across Europe, so our analysis remains grounded in data and science, free from political interference and preference. (3/5)

Our approach looks at how different parts of the economy are connected, which factors are helping the EU move forward, and what barriers are holding back climate progress. (2/5)

The path to climate neutrality isn’t just about tracking emissions. ECNO’s unique methodology focuses on what enables future progress, like infrastructure, investments, and access to clean alternatives - offering a deeper assessment of the EU’s climate transition. 🧵 (1/5)

Congratulations to our partner @I4CE_ on the 2025 Climate Investment Report tracking real economy investments in energy, buildings, transport & clean tech across the EU: The data from the report will feed into ECNO’s Progress Assessment in Sept 2025.

The EU’s Competitiveness Compass sets a bold vision: climate neutrality by 2050. Are Member States on a credible path to reach their targets?. ECNO’s report finds key gaps in the four final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) analysed. Read more:

Without clear policies and transparent reporting, ambitious emissions targets risk falling short in EU Member States. Read our full analysis and recommendations for strengthening national climate planning:

France’s NECP reports on indicators across many areas of the economy, but lacks details on building renovation, use of organic materials like wood or crops as a renewable energy source, and measures for industrial carbon capture.

The Irish NECP has well-structured policies but is missing key data, such as heat pump adoption rates and passenger numbers for transport.

The Italian NECP is weak on transparency with significant policy information gaps, especially in the transport, buildings, and industry sectors.

The Swedish climate plan lacks transparency – among other things it is missing national targets for renewable energy and based on unclear emissions projections.

Are EU countries on track to meet their 2030 climate and energy goals? ECNO’s new report finds major information and policy gaps in the four final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) analysed (France, Ireland, Italy and Sweden). Here’s what you need to know 🧵👇
