Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas the 2023 UNFCCC synthesis report on NDCs states that the total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions level in 2030 is projected to be 2 % below the 2019 level; whereas the first global stocktake (GST) completed in 2023 at COP28 highlights the critical need to limit global warming to 1,5ºC to significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; whereas the IPCC concludes that in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5 °C, GHG emissions need to be 43 % below their 2019 level by 2030;

Recital F a (new)
Recital F a (new)
Fa. whereas water is a fundamental resource for human life, agriculture, and ecosystems, and its availability is being severely impacted by climate change, leading to increased droughts, floods, and water scarcity across the globe; whereas the degradation of water-related ecosystems, including rivers, wetlands, and lakes, exacerbates the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and human livelihoods;
Amendment 60 #
Draft motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas the ocean plays a vital role in regulating the climate by absorbing around 25% of human-caused CO2 emissions and over 90% of the excess heat generated by these emissions; whereas marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds act as crucial carbon sinks that support global climate regulation; whereas the degradation of these ecosystems weakens the ocean’s ability to sequester carbon and adapt to climate change, exacerbating climate impacts; whereas marine biodiversity is seriously endangered, despite the ocean playing athis unique and vital role as a climate regulator;
Amendment 450 #
Draft motion for a resolution
Paragraph 32
Paragraph 32
32. Underlines that the conservation and restoration of high-carbon ecosystems such as peatlands, wetlands, rangelands, and blue carbon ecosystems, and the species that enable these ecosystems to function, offer a wide range of mitigation and adaptation benefits; calls on the Commission to develop the mapping of these ecosystems and develop methodologies for the accounting of carbon removals and emissions from those ecosystems;
Amendment 463 #
Draft motion for a resolution
Paragraph 34
Paragraph 34
34. Stresses the importance of implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, including to maximise the ability of nature to help mitigate and adapt to climate change and to minimise negative impacts of climate action on biodiversity; reminds that conserving highly biodiverse, intact ecosystems on land and in the ocean is the most cost-effective nature-based action to tackle climate change; recalls the failure in achieving the Aichi targets;
