Amendment 178 #
Paragraph 23
23. Stresses the importance of a just transition to a climate neutral economy and the need for an anticipatory approach to ensure a just transition for citizens and to support the most vulnerable regions and communities; stresses the importance of creating a just transition fund, to guarantee an inclusive transition for the people and the regions most affected by decarbonisation, such as the coal mining regions; believes that Europe’s climate transition must be ecologically, economically and socially sustainable; underlines the role of transition fuels and technologies in delivering a cost-effective just transition; calls on the Union and the Member States to put in place appropriate policies and financing in this regard, conditioned to clear, credible and enforceable short and longer term economy-wide decarbonisation commitments from the concerned Member States;
Amendment 232 #
Paragraph 31
31. Recalls that shipping CO2 emissions are projected to increase by 50% to85% (due to an increase of freight volume of 250%) in the period to 2050; welcomes the agreement on the initial IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG emissions from ships as a first step for the sector to contribute to the realisation of the temperature goal in the Paris Agreement; regrets that the IMO has not, so far, made progress on the adoption of short and medium-term measures to reach the objectives of the strategy; stresses the importance and urgency of implementing short and medium- term measures before 20230; underlines that further measures and action are needed to address maritime emissions, including making use of existing alternative fuels that mitigate air impacts and calls, therefore, on the EU and the Member States to closely monitor the impact and implementation of the IMO agreement and urges the Commission to consider additional EU action, as part of its 2050 decarbonisation strategy, to reduce maritime emissions in line with the temperature target of the Paris Agreement and to drive investments into zero-low emission ships and the necessary enabling infrastructures;
Amendment 236 #
Paragraph 32
32. Notes that approximately 60 % of the world’s methane is emitted by sources such as agriculture, landfills and wastewater, and the production and pipeline transport of fossil fuels; recalls that methane is a potent GHG with a 100- year global warming potential, 28 times more powerful than CO2 ; reminds the Commission about the provision of the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action which states that the Commission shall analyse the implications for implementing policies and measures for the purpose of reducing the short- and middle-term impact of methane emissions on Union greenhouse gas emissions and taking into account the circular economy objectives as appropriate, on the Commission should consider policy options for rapidly addressing methane emissions and should put forward a Union strategic plan for methane of its legal obligation to explore as soon as possible policy options for rapidly addressing methane emissions as part of a Union strategic plan for methane, and to present legislative proposals to Parliament and the Council to that effect;
