1. Calls for a revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) to be adapted to achieve the goals set in Paris, in the context of the Horizon 2020 strategyin order to ensure that the European Union is on track to achieve the goals set at COP21 in Paris; considers that, given that adaptation of the European economies to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change will be one of the main challenges the European Union will have to face in the coming years, and that the objectives of the Paris Agreement could imply new rules or programmes under the Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, the Asylum and Migration Fund and the Internal Security Fund, a revision of the MFF is justified;

5. Considers that the revision of the MFF should make provision for the fact that food safety will be a challenge in the coming years given the increased pressure on resources – this provision could be used to tackle malnutrition trends in Member States.; further notices that under the Paris Agreement, EU funding needs to be allocated for supporting climate action in developing countries; as this commitment runs until 2025, asks the Commission to address it in the MFF review/revision;
