Amendment 3 #
Citation 19 a (new)
– having regard to the Report "CO₂ - an operational anthropogenic CO₂ emissions monitoring and verification support capacity", published by the Commission Joint Research Centre in November 2017 3a _________________ 3ahttp://copernicus.eu/news/report- operational-anthropogenic-co2- emissions-monitoring
Amendment 45 #
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Supports an update of the Union's NDC with an economy-wide target of 55% domestic greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels;
Amendment 50 #
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of an ambitious EU climate policy in order to act as a credible and reliable partner globally, of maintaining the EU’s global climate leadership and adherence to the Paris Agreement inter alia through revisiting its own mid- and long-term goals and policy instruments, as well as through successfully concluding and adopting before COP24 ambitious provisions under the ongoing legislative revisions in the energy and climate package; calls on the Commission to prepare by the end of 2018 a mid-century zero emissions strategy for the EU, providing a cost-efficient pathway towards reaching the net zero emissions goal adopted in the Paris Agreement;by 2050 and negative emissions shortly thereafter, taking into account the remaining global carbon budget.
Amendment 55 #
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Welcomes the preliminary agreement between the European Parliament and the Council on a Union renewable energy target of 32% by 2030 and a Union energy efficiency target of 32.5% by 2030 including measures to deliver these targets. Stresses that the increased level of ambition on renewable energy and energy efficiency will result in more than 45% greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030, while additional policies are under development, bringing the Union in a position to raise the level of ambition of its NDC.
Amendment 74 #
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Supports a Rulebook requiring a high level of transparency with robust binding rules for all Parties in order to accurately measure progress and build further trust amongst the Parties involved in the international process; calls on all major economies to take the lead in the negotiations on the Rulebook and promote binding requirements for monitoring and verification systems, including timely and reliable greenhouse gas emissions data and estimates;
Amendment 75 #
Paragraph 13 b (new)
13b. Stresses the importance of complementing the Rulebook with observation-based atmospheric data to increase the reliability and accuracy of reporting. Calls on the Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the European research infrastructure Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS), the national inventory agencies and research centres and other key players to develop operational capacity that can produce anthropogenic emission information using satellite data and meeting the necessary requirements, including a constellation of satellites;
Amendment 93 #
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that the EU’s budget should be coherent with its international commitments on sustainable development and with its mid- and long-term climate and energy targets and should not be counterproductive to these targets or hampering their implementation; notes with concern that the target of 20% of Union total spending dedicated to climate action is likely to be missed and calls therefore for corrective action; underlines further that the political discussions on the post-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework should have the climate and energy targets at its heart from the very beginning ensuring that the necessary resources to reach them will be in place; considers therefore that climate-related spending should be increased and reach 30 % as soon as possibleunder the next Multiannual Financial Framework and that the latest by 2027;all spending under the next Multiannual Financial Framework should be Paris-compliant.
Amendment 94 #
Paragraph 17 a (new)
17a. Calls for the establishment of a dedicated and automatic EU public finance mechanism providing additional and adequate support towards the EU’s fair share in the delivery of the USD 100 billion international climate finance goal;
Amendment 109 #
Paragraph 19 a (new)
19a. Calls on the Commission to establish safeguards to ensure that any linking with the EU ETS will continue to deliver additional and permanent mitigation contributions and does not undermine the Union domestic greenhouse gas emissions commitments;
