In the context of the European Union’s climate ambitions it is vital to ensure that policy measures actually lead to positive outcomes for the climate and money spent on such measures is used in the most efficient way. Raising the EU’s renewable energy targets will only result in climate benefits if the types of energy supported lead to significant GHG reductions.

What they argued
The Natural Resources Defense Council appreciates the opportunity to input into the Commission’s 2050 climate law roadmap. We agree with leading European NGOs that the target of reaching net-zero ghg emissions by 2050 is an insufficient contribution to preventing warming greater than 1.5°C, and that far more ambitious year-on-year reductions in greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions are required.
NRDC welcomes the EU’s initiative to tackle global deforestation and forest degradation. The world must take urgent action to halt the devastation of the world’s forest, which are vital for biodiversity, and are our best tool for removing heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The roadmap correctly identifies the expansion of agriculture as one key driver of global deforestation and forest degradation.
