63 Amendments of Herbert DORFMANN related to 2020/0036(COD)
Amendment 29 #
(1) The Commission has, in its Communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’19 , set out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well- being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, with particular focus on citizens, living in rural and remote areas and thus leaving no one behind. _________________ 19 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

(4) The Paris Agreement sets out a long-term goal to keep the global temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1.5 °C above pre- industrial levels23 , and stresses the importance of adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change, in a manner that does not threaten food production,24 and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development25 . _________________ 23 Article 2.1.a of the Paris Agreement. 24 Article 2.1.b of the Paris Agreement. 25 Article 2.1.c of the Paris Agreement.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality should require a contribution from all economic sectors. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective. Special attention should also be paid to replacing fossil-intensive materials with renewable and bio-based materials, deriving from forestry and agriculture, as two sectors functioning as carbon emitters as well as carbon sinks, as well as with low carbon materials.

The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective. Particular focus should be put on reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, where the use of hydrogen as a fuel and energy storage medium can play an important role to enable the transition to a clean, low- carbon energy system.

(14) Adaptation is a key component of the long-term global response to climate change. Therefore, Member States and the Union should enhance their adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change, as provided for in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement, as well as maximise the co- benefits with other environmental policies and legislation. Member States should adopt comprehensive national adaptation strategies and plans, reflecting the circumstances in their regions.

Recital 12
(12) The Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and teach Member State should set out to achieve climate neutrality individually with the support of collective actions of the Union. The Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective.

(12a) The Commission is exploring the development of a regulatory framework for the certification of carbon removals in accordance with its Circular Economy Action Plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy. The restoration of eco-systems and the development of a carbon removals market for land-based greenhouse gas sequestration would assist in restoring, maintaining and managing natural sinks and promote biodiversity. The development of an EU carbon farming initiative would represent a new income source for farmers.

(15b) Forests play a crucial role in the transition to climate neutrality. Sustainable and close-to-nature forest management is crucial for continuous greenhouse gas absorption from the atmosphere and also allows to provide renewable and climate-friendly raw material for wood products which store carbon and can act as a substitute to fossil-based materials and fuels. The "triple role" of forests (sink, storage and substitution) contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions release to the atmosphere, while ensuring that forests continue to grow and provide many other services.

(16) The transition to climate neutrality requires changes across the entire policy spectrum and a collective effort of all sectors of the economy and society, as illustrated by the Commission in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’. The European Council, in its Conclusions of 12 December 2019, stated that all relevant Union legislation and policies need to be consistent with, and contribute to, the fulfilment of the climate- neutrality objective while respecting a level playing field, and invited the Commission to examine whether this requires an adjustment of the existing rules. Taking the latter into account, the Commission shall revise the legislation on materials and products, in order to promote the use of renewable and low carbon materials with climate benefits that act as carbon sinks or partially substitute fossil-based materials.

(16a) The IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1,5ºC calls for net- zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and net zero non-CO2 emissions later in the century in order to limit global warming to approximately 1,5°C. The Union is more ambitious in calling for all greenhouse gas emissions, including short-lived gases, to reach net-zero by mid-century.

Recital 16 b (new)
Recital 16 b (new)
(16b) The IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1,5ºC acknowledges that different greenhouse gases have different lifecycles, with certain gases remaining in the atmosphere longer than others. Biogenic methane, produced by livestock, has a shorter lifecycle than CO2, and this should be acknowledged in the EU’s climate ambitions. Efforts to achieve climate neutrality should address the urgency of reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

Recital 16 c (new)
(16c) There is ongoing debate within the scientific community regarding the common metric used for Global Warming Potential, particularly for short-lived gases such as biogenic methane. The implications of CO2 equivalence merits further analysis and it is appropriate to develop a robust evidence-based strategy to reduce emissions of short-lived gases.

(21) In order to provide predictability and confidence for all economic actors, including businesses, workers, investors and consumers, to ensure that the transition towards climate neutrality is irreversible, to ensure gradual reduction over time and to assist in the assessment of the consistency of measures and progress with the climate- neutrality objective, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to set out a trajectory for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 37Commission shall, following a detailed impact assessment, present to the European Parliament and the Council the proposal for a regulation, setting out a trajectory for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050.
