Let's be fair & optimistic about the impact of the European Green Deal!
@climateactiontr data show that the European Green Deal brought emissions closer to 1.5°C.
We are not there yet, but a Paris compatible future is still within Europe's reach! https://t.co/PuASQkKBBY
BLOG: Since the 2019 EU elections, the EU has significantly improved its climate performance through the Green Deal, and its emissions are now on a path consistent with warming a little above 2˚C, a more than 1˚C improvement from 2019.

Our global credibility is at stake.
The EU’s 2035 NDC must reflect our 2040 ambition: 72.5% reduction.
With the US backsliding, Europe must lead.
Let’s be the signal of hope. 8/9
Yes, each country needs flexibility.
We can hit 2040 targets within the EU – with the right policies and investments.
Any flexibilities used must be minimal and of the highest quality – no loopholes! 7/9
Want real European security?
Cut fossil fuel imports.
Clean, local renewables = independence, jobs, lower bills.
In 2024, renewables made up 47% of EU electricity.
We’re nearly halfway there. 6/9
The 2040 target gives businesses what they crave: certainty.
It’s a green light for transition planning.
The Clean Industrial Deal is how we deliver – and how we implement Draghi’s vision. 5/9
Europe is becoming a magnet for climate talent.
Scientists and innovators are moving here – from the US to France!
Why? Because we’re serious about the future. 4/9
As Europe melts under red heat warnings, let’s stop calling climate targets a burden.
As @vonderleyen said, this is a moment of European renewal.
The 2040 target is our chance to lead in clean innovation and investment. 3/9
10 years after the Paris Agreement, Europe’s climate leadership is on the line.
That’s why it matters that Denmark and Germany’s new coalition are standing firm on climate.
We’re still in the game. 2/9
In a world rocked by war and uncertainty, the EU’s new 2040 climate target is a beacon of stability.
🎯 90% GHG reduction by 2040.
This is Europe saying: we keep our promises. (1/9)
In 2024, the @ECHR_CEDH found that Switzerland had failed to comply with its duties concerning climate change. @CANEurope is one of the 30+ organizations calling on Switzerland to step up & comply with the @ECHR_CEDH’s climate judgment to #ActOnClimate.

Dear @EU_Commission, you got mail.
NGOs urge the @EU_Commission in coordinated complaints to take legal action against France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Sweden for #climateplans breaching EU law.

Finally, I know that alongside climate there are profound concerns for peace, fundamental freedoms and civic space, and democracy. My thoughts are with all the tireless activists dedicated to building a more democratic, peaceful and sustainable world. (10/10)
This is a moment for Europe to strengthen its leadership on the global stage, in close partnership with others. The next few years are critical, and Europe must push forward – for its citizens and the planet. COP29 still matters and I believe a positive outcome is possible (9/10)
The transition to net zero is critical to Europe’s energy security and economic competitiveness. The Draghi report makes clear that Europe’s future growth depends on getting decarbonisation right. (8/10)
Europe can and must step up – out of moral duty but also strategic interest. Heatwaves caused 62,000 deaths across Europe in 2022, and recent floods devastated parts of Central and Eastern Europe and Spain. (7/10)
No country can afford the rising economic and social costs of inaction. Abandoning the transition to a cleaner, fairer, and more affordable economy would be a dereliction of responsibility. (6/10)
