(6a) With a view to facilitating the transition towards climate neutrality in all sectors of the economy, each Member State may establish a roadmap for each economic sector describing how it can reduce emissions to close to zero and by when, with 2050 being the latest date. To facilitate the comparability of these roadmaps, the Commission should establish a harmonised format and a set of criteria that would constitute the basis for these roadmaps. Such roadmaps should be made in close cooperation between industry associations, companies, trade unions, civil society, local and regional authorities and academia and should assess opportunities, needs and challenges to reach climate neutrality and be communicated to the Commission as part of the National Energy and Climate Plans.

(15) In taking the relevant measures at Union and national level to achieve the climate-neutrality objective, Member States and the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take into account the contribution of the transition to climate neutrality to the well- being of citizens, the prosperity of society and the competitiveness of the economy; energy and food security and affordabilithe social, economic and environmental costs of inaction or insufficient action; the fact that women are disproportionately impacted by climate change and the need to strengthen gender equality; energy and food security and affordability whilst particularly taking into account the need to combat energy poverty; fairness and solidarity across and within Member States considering their economic capability, national circumstances and the need for convergence over time; the need to make the transition just and socially fair in accordance with 2015 International Labour Organization’s guidelines for a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all; best available scientific evidence, in particular the findings reported by the IPCC; the need to integrate climate change related risks into investment and planning decisions; cost-effectiveness and technological neutrality in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals and increasing resilience; progression over time in environmental integrity and level of ambition.

(18a) Scientific expertise and the best available, up-to-date evidence, together with information on climate change that is both factual and transparent is imperative and needs to underpin the Union’s climate action and efforts to reach climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest. Therefore, the Commission should establish an independent European Panel on Climate Change (EPCC), consisting of scientists selected on the basis of their expertise in the climate change field, with the purpose of assessing on an annual basis, using the data collected by the European Environment Agency (EEA), the consistency of measures with the Union carbon budget and the progress made to achieve climate neutrality in the Union and Member States by 2050 at the latest and to honour the Union’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.

(20) As citizens and communities have a powerful role to play in driving the transformation towards climate neutrality forward, strong public and social engagement on climate action should be facilitatedboth encouraged and facilitated at local, regional and national level. The Commission should therefore engage with all parts of society to enable and empower them to take action towards a socially just, gender equal, climate-neutral and climate- resilient society, including through launching a European Climate Pact.

Article 2 a (new)
Article 2a Sectoral climate-neutrality roadmaps 1. By 30 June 2021, the Commission shall establish a harmonised format and a set of criteria that shall constitute the basis for sectoral roadmaps to climate neutrality. 2. Each Member State may submit such roadmaps for each economic sector to the Commission as part of the National Energy and Climate Plans, no later than 12 months after the publication by the Commission of the harmonised format and criteria, setting out how and by which date the sector can reduce its emissions to close to zero, and identifying obstacles and opportunities as well as the technological solutions that would need to be developed and investments that would need to be made within the sector. 3. The Commission shall provide guidance and coordinating support to Member States during the elaboration of the roadmaps.
