Transport is responsible for about one quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. To reach our climate targets set out under the Paris Climate Accord, there is no single solution and urgent and complementary measures are needed. UNICA, the Brazilian sugarcane association, welcomes the revision of the Renewables Directive and appreciates the opportunity to contribute.
