Release da imprensa: Ambiciosa energia e planos climate Ação

Bruxelas, 29 de junho, para a liberação imediata. Esses planos revelarão suas novas contribuições para as metas climáticas e de energia da UE 2030 e as políticas que lideram lá. A partir de agora, a menos que haja uma submissão enorme de última hora amanhã, muitos países não respeitarão esse prazo. Mantenha -nos a salvo de impactos climáticos, proteja nossa carteira contra altas contas de energia fóssil e garanta uma vida sustentável ”, Tomorrow, 30 June, marks the official deadline for  EU countries to submit their updated draft National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) to the European Commission. These plans will reveal their new contributions to the EU 2030 climate and energy targets and the policies that lead there. As of now, unless there is a massive last-minute submission tomorrow, many countries will not respect this deadline.

“The EU will not achieve climate neutrality by accident or without thorough planning. National Energy and Climate Plans are central strategic tools, that design the systemic transformation we need, mobilise the money and ensure accelerated climate action on the ground. 

In other words, these national plans must keep us safe from climate impacts, protect our wallet against high fossil energy bills, and ensure a sustainable life”, disse Brigitta Bozsó - Gerente de Projeto e Especialista em Políticas, Europa - Ambição de Iatos. 

There are many things that could go wrong with these plans: from insufficient ambition, or inadequate financing, implementation and inconsistencies – to lack of public support. 

“ Não podemos pagar NECPs desleixados ou não ambiciosos, pois esses planos são uma das principais oportunidades para a UE implementar uma transição compatível com o objetivo de 1,5 ° C. Lição de casa seriamente - não apenas respeitando o prazo, mas também enviando planos ambiciosos, abrangentes e coerentes da NECP para a Comissão Europeia, que por sua vez devem atuar como um cão de guarda desse processo. Além disso, continua sendo uma obrigação de que os rascunhos da NECP sejam desenvolvidos com a participação efetiva de”, argued Brigitta Bozsó.

Hence, Member States must take their homework seriously – not just by respecting the deadline, but also by submitting ambitious, comprehensive, and coherent NECP draft plans to the European Commission, which in turn must act as a watchdog of this process. In addition, it remains an obligation that the NECP drafts are developed with the effective participation of Sociedade civil e partes interessadas relevantes. 

“Planning the fundamental reforms that will directly affect the ways of life of all European citizens cannot take place in an ivory tower. Given the scale and pace of climate action that is required, citizens and stakeholders must be consulted and participate meaningfully in the elaboration of NECPs”, added Brigitta Bozsó.

The current EU 2030 target of reducing net emissions by at least 55% doesn’t live up to the level of the climate emergency and the EU’s equitable share of reducing emissions globally. The EU has the moral obligation now to overshoot its 2030 target and achieve gross emissions by at least -65% by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2040 at the latest. The NECPs revision, between now and June 2024, is a fundamental opportunity for EU Member States to set things right – to accelerate climate action and the energy transition, to bring NECPs to their real, transformative potential and enable citizens to make the switch to a sustainable lifestyle easily and enjoy the multiple benefits.
