Recital B b (new)
Bb. whereas the Paris Agreement was only possible when the concept of 'decarbonisation' had been dropped and the balance between emissions and sinks (net-zero emissions) was promoted instead;
Amendment 13 #
Recital C
C. whereas having stalled for three years, 2017 saw for the first time a rise in global and EU carbon emissions; whereas the rise is spread unevenly across the world: whereas the EU has increased its emissions by approximately 1.5%, while China by almost 2% and the rest of developing Asia by more than 3%; whereas the US emissions have decreased by approximately 0.5% at the same time;
Amendment 16 #
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas the Second Ministerial on Climate Change held in June 2018 among the EU, Canada and China showed that there are still important differences between these major countries with China, the second largest economy and the larger CO2 emitter globally, pushing to be treated differently than 'Western' countries;
Amendment 31 #
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that profound and possibly irreversible impacts at 2°C rise in global temperatures might be avoided if the more ambitious target of 1.5°C is attained; stresses that this would require rising global GHG emissions to fall to net zero by 2050 or soon after; underlines that the technological solutions needed are available and becoming increasingly cost competitive and that all EU policies should be closely aligned to the chosen emissions targets; looks forward, therefore, to the findings of the 2018 Special IPCC report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 ºC above pre-industrial levels;
Amendment 54 #
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of an ambitious EU climate policy in order to act as a credible and reliable partner globally, of maintaining the EU’s global climate leadership and adherence to the Paris Agreement inter alia through revisiting its own mid- and long-term goals and policy instruments, as well as through successfully concluding and adopting before COP24 ambitious provisions under the ongoing legislative revisions in the energy and climate package; calls on the Commission to prepare by the end of 2018 a mid-century net- zero emissions strategy for the EU, providing a cost-efficient pathway towards reaching the net zero emissions goals adopted in the Paris Agreement;
Amendment 66 #
Paragraph 11
11. Underlines that the pre-2020 implementation and ambition were a key point during the COP23 negotiations; welcomes the decision to hold two stocktaking exercises during the COPs in 2018 and 2019; considers these asmay be important steps towards the goal to increase ambition for the post-2020 period by all Parties and thus looks forward to the outcome of the first stocktaking in Katowice;
Amendment 68 #
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Emphasises synergies between the Paris Agreement, the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Framework and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (Finance for Development) as well as other Rio Conventions, as these are important and interlinked steps forward in ensuring that poverty eradication and sustainable development could be simultaneously tackled;
Amendment 76 #
Paragraph 13 b (new)
13b. Is concerned with the fact that some Parties remain reluctant to work towards full transparency in measuring emissions; believes that only a fully transparent and comparable measuring methodology may ensure that NDCs are going to work towards fulfilling the Paris Agreement goals;
Amendment 81 #
Paragraph 14
14. Underlines the importance of the EU speaking with a single and unified voice at COP24 in Katowice in order to ensure its political power and credibility; urges all Member States to agree unanimously and support the EU mandate in the negotiations and in bilateral meeting with other actors;
