Following that, in July 2018, the Commission brought together various stakeholders for a public consultations to update the EU's low-carbon energy roadmap for 2050 within a two days event in Brussels from 10-11 of July 2018. 

The purpose of the public consultation is to collect the opinions on the technological and socioeconimc pathways for a long-term EU greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy and gathering factual information and knowledge, including opportunities and challenges that the long-term strategy is facing with. 

Curently, the EU is achieving the targets for 2020 and also establishing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions by at least 40% in 2030 and achieve high level of ambition in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
