Amendments (6)
Amendment 32 #
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; underlines that the technological solutions needed are available and becoming increasingly cost competitive and that all EU policies shouldmust 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 39 #
Paragraph 6
6. Calls on all Parties to contribute constructively to the process to be put in place towards 2020 when NDCs need to be updated and to ensure that their NDCs are in line with the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement; acknowledges that current pledges are not yet sufficient to reach the goals of the Agreement; stresses, therefore, that global GHG emissions should reach their peak as soon as possible and that all parties, especially the EU and all G20 nations, shouldmust step up their efforts and update their NDCs by 2020, following the 2018 Talanoa dialogue, as they are blessed with particularly good economic preconditions to enable them to lead, and contribute more to, action on climate change;
Amendment 51 #
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 instrumentsby successively adopting more ambitious goals of its own and enhancing policy instruments in the mid- and long-term, 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 zero emissions strategy for the EU, providing a cost-efficient pathway towards reaching the net zero emissions goal adopted in the Paris Agreement;
Amendment 96 #
Paragraph 18
18. Expresses its satisfaction with the growing global mobilisation of an ever- broader range of non-state actors committed to climate action with concrete and measurable deliverables; highlights the critical role of civil society, the private sector and sub-state governments in pressurising, driving and compensating state action especially where such is suboptimal; calls on the EU, the Member States and all Parties to stimulate, facilitate and engage in completely transparent dialogue with non-state actors, who increasingly become frontrunners in the fight against climate change, as well as with sub-national actors, in particular where EU relations with national governments in the field of climate policy have deteriorated; praises, in this light, the pledge made during COP23 by 25 pioneering cities, representing 150 million citizens, to become net-zero emissions cities by 2050;
Amendment 111 #
Paragraph 20
20. Regrets that the transport sector has not seen the same gradual decline in emissions as other sectors since 1990 and stresses that this is not compatible with long-term sustainable development, which instead requires emissions from all sectors of society to be reduced more and at a faster rate;
Amendment 122 #
Paragraph 23
23. Recalls that shipping CO2 emissions are projected to increase by 50% to 250% in the period to 2050 and that technical ways of reducing emissions from ships substantially already exist; welcomes the agreement on the initial IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG emissions from ships during the 72nd session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee in April 2018, as a first step for the sector to contribute to the realisation of the temperature goal in the Paris Agreement; calls on the IMO to agree rapidly on the measures necessary to deliver on the targets, and stresses the importance and urgency of implementing those before 2023; underlines that further measures and action are needed to address maritime emissions and calls, therefore, on the EU and the Member States to closely monitor the impact and implementation of the IMO agreement and to consider additional EU action to ensure that GHG emissions from ships are reduced in line with the temperature target in the Paris Agreement;
