⚡RED III targets are only legally binding at EU level, which is an issue

A fast rollout of #renewables cannot be achieved if targets cannot be properly enforced at the national & sectoral level

🏡This would be key for introducing a mandatory phase-out period for gas boilers

Is the EC’s proposal to review the RED compatible with our PAC energy scenario? #Green_Europe #RED #fitfor55 #climatecrisis https://t.co/7yv6tq8vJ5

We live in a 🌡️ #ClimateEmergency: green taxes are key to steering towards a green economy!

🌱 It’s time to shift #taxation from labour to environmental #pollution: watch our 3⃣rd #TaxJustice video with @PedroMarquesMEP & @EuBalance

🏭All economic sectors can and must do more to help us achieve the Paris Agreement 1.5C temperature goal, the only one science finds compatible with our life on 🌍

📣We call on MEPs and @EU_Commission to raise the ambition of the FitFor55 and EU ETS

With the current ETS, 🇪🇺 taxpayers foot the bill while industries get an outrageous discount

💸According to market operators' forecasts, up to €550 billion of public funds will be transferred for free to industry by 2030

😨This is equal to 2/3 of the whole EU recovery funds!

MEP @MChahim presenting his draft report on #CBAM in @EP_Environment this morning.

For #CBAM to be a Climate measure, we need to phase-out free permits to pollute sooner than what's the @EU_Commission proposes & finally apply the polluter pays principle.

What's more? 👇

[Carbon Market Watch @CarbonMrktWatch]

“The 'polluter pays' principle is not fully internalised in the #EUETS Directive: EU industries get a discount while EU taxpayers pay the bill,” explains @Green_Europe's @EuBalance

Kan ETS bijdragen aan snelle & eerlijke transitie? Met consortium #LifeETX organiseren we volgende week event over het Europese emissiehandelssysteem. @climact evalueert de FF55-hervormingen, dan debat met o.m. @delbeke_jos , @EuBalance , @peterliese en @SabineBFrank

“The Sustainable Carbon Cycles Communication is not a mature vision of how removals and storage should work in the future.”

🇪🇺 Recovery funds and the #FitFor55 regulation offer a historic opportunity to address this climate/energy emergency

However, EU countries are opposed to having binding energy efficiency and renewables national targets, which obstructs the full potential of these key instruments

[Carbon Market Watch @CarbonMrktWatch]

Despite the positive elements in the @EU_Commission's leaked Sustainable Carbon Cycles Communication, we are troubled by the vague definition of carbon removals, the use of offsets, and more.

That's why we sent a joint green NGO letter to @TimmermansEU

COP26: The end of the fossil fuels era? Not here, not now - A tiny tiny light, some worrying trends and a long way to go. Let’s hope mummies in Egypt won’t rise again. #Green-Europe #Cop26 #climateaction #climatecrisis #Fitfor55 https://t.co/M5ZT0Ivcut

[European Environmental Bureau @Green_Europe]

Game-changer news at #COP26 as the global pledge to slash methane emissions by 30% in ALL industries by 2030 is now official! 👏
But decision makers have their eyes on gas&oil. Meanwhile in the EU alone 53% of methane emissions come from #agriculture😒

🌿What is on the European Green Deal menu for 2022?

"The 2022 commitments can chart the path to sustainability and make a major stride towards transformative change. Yet, a lack of ambition and poor policy choices can still trip us up",✍️@tenBrinkPatrick

⚠️Don't be fooled!

🦕🔥Fossil #gas is to blame for your soaring energy bills, not climate policies

⚡The only way to break our dependence on imported fossil fuels and their volatile prices is to speed up the transition to #renewables

[European Environmental Bureau @Green_Europe]

The EU F-Gas Regulation control these man-made and climate change driver gases by:

🔓 Establishing a “quota system” to limit the total amount
🚫 Bans of the use of F-gases in several new types of equipment
🎈Introduces requirements to prevent emissions

However...

[Barbara Mariani @EuBalance]

High energy prices call for more climate action, not less! #Green_Europe #Fitfor55 https://t.co/SRarUVI3wb
