EREF welcomes the COM proposal to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This is the minimum necessary. COM should consider that the EP ENVI asked for at least 60% and that there are numerous calls for at least 65% GHG emission reductions; at least 45% renewable energy; and at least 40% energy savings.

What they argued
The Climate Law’s aim is to enshrine the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 into legislation and to set out the conditions for a fair and effective and transition to guide all policies. EREF welcomes the 5 year interval for the trajectory assessment as well as the proposed early revision by June 2021, adjusting measures where necessary to make it an effective tool.
In order to meet the challenges of global warming and to ensure the EU has a leading role in achieving a climate-neutral economy, a comprehensive long-term strategy is needed in the EU as a whole and in all MS. This can only succeed if clear goals, limits and criteria are set at an EU level and a MS level. The Climate Law must provide clear targets, milestones and trajectories for the EU and for the MS.
The EU needs to maintain its commitment to “Net Zero 2050” and take on the leading role for making Europe become the first climate neutral continent – which can only succeed if clear goals, limits and criteria are set at EU level and Member State level.

With climate change progressing faster than envisaged, decarbonisation of our societies and industries must take place much faster.
