Evrópski græni sáttmálinn miðar að 55% samdrætti í losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda til 2030 og loftslagshlutleysi árið 2050. Áhrif á Ísland yrðu blendin — endurnýjanleg orka í rafmagni og húshitun er þegar langt umfram markmið ESB, en bindandi kröfur um samgöngur, landbúnað og úrgang myndu krefjast verulegra aðgerða. Kolefnistollurinn (CBAM) gæti hins vegar gagnast álframleiðslu Íslands.
Enska frumtextinn
The European Green Deal, adopted in 2019 and operationalised through the 'Fit for 55' legislative package, targets a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (relative to 1990) and climate neutrality by 2050. For Iceland, the Green Deal's impact would be mixed: its renewable electricity and heating sectors already exceed EU targets, but the Effort Sharing Regulation would impose binding targets on transport, agriculture, and waste emissions — sectors where Iceland faces significant challenges. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), phasing in from 2026, could benefit Iceland's aluminium industry if the EU imposes carbon costs on imported aluminium from non-EU competitors, effectively protecting Iceland's lower-carbon production.

The EEA-relevance of Green Deal legislation is being assessed on a case-by-case basis, meaning Iceland may incorporate some elements even without EU membership. The specific targets and obligations that would apply to Iceland as an EU member would be subject to accession negotiations. Political support for the Green Deal has fluctuated, and implementation timelines may shift.
