The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the 2014 UN Climate Change Conference – COP 20 in Lima, Peru (1-12 December 2014).
The resolution adopted in plenary was tabled by the Committee on Environment, Public health and Food Safety.
According to the scientific evidence presented in the 2014 Working Group reports on the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), warming of the climate system is unequivocal . Global greenhouse gas emissions over the period from 2000 to 2010 were the highest in human history. Without significant global mitigation action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global average temperature is likely to be as much as 5 °C higher by the end of the century .
Urgent need to act : Parliament recognises the extraordinary scale and seriousness of the threats induced by climate change and expressed profound concern about the continued weakness of the international response to the challenge it poses. It called for the following measures:
(1) by adopting, at the climate conference in Paris in December 2015 (COP 21), an ambitious, legally binding international agreement for post-2020 climate action which is commensurate with the 2 °C objective, while respecting the right to equitable and sustainable development. Parliament underlined the need for an effective compliance regime applicable to all Parties under the 2015 Agreement;
(2) urgent strengthening and broadening of the measures in place to limit GHG emissions until 2020 and beyond ;
(3) scaling up of developed countries’ funding for mitigation, adaptation , technology development and transfer and capacity building in developing countries, in line with the creation of the Green Climate Fund and the commitment to provide new and additional such funding amounting to USD 100 billion per year by 2020 , while increasing official development aid in order to reach the long-since-pledged level of 0.7% of gross national income.
Climate diplomacy : Parliament expects the new Commission to assume a proactive role in addressing the global climate crisis and therefore stressed the importance of the EU as a major player, speaking with ‘one voice’ at the Conference in seeking progress towards an international agreement and staying united in that regard.
Ambitious objectives : Parliament called for general reinvigoration of the EU’s climate policy and for rapid agreement on ambitious, binding targets for emission reduction, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources, except socially and environmentally harmful biofuels, by 2030, which would help build momentum in international climate discussions and are in line with the EU’s commitment to reduce its GHG emissions to 80%-95% below 1990 levels by 2050.
The resolution highlighted that Parliament has called on the Commission and the Member States to set a binding EU 2030 target of reducing domestic greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% compared with 1990 levels, a binding EU 2030 energy efficiency target of 40%, in line with research on cost-effective energy saving potential, and a binding EU 2030 target of producing at least 30% of total final energy consumption from renewable energy sources. Member States are urged to take these targets into account in their ongoing discussions.
Developing countries : Parliament called on major developed economies to harness their existing advanced infrastructure to promote, enhance and develop sustainable growth and to commit to supporting developing countries in building up their own capacity to ensure future economic growth in all parts of the world is achieved at no further cost to the environment.
Members recalled that developing countries, in particular Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, have contributed the least to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but are the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and have the least capacity to adapt. They called on all countries in a position to do so to support those countries that are the most vulnerable in their efforts to adapt and respond to the impacts of climate change in order to achieve climate-resilient sustainable development and to seek agreements on strengthening national adaptation planning processes, climate financing, technology transfer and capacity building.
Land sector, international aviation and maritime transport : Parliament stressed the importance for all Parties to include a land component in their national contribution and called for the agreement to set out a comprehensive accounting framework for emissions and removals from land.
Members also reiterated the importance of maritime and air transport in terms of GHG emission reductions, and the need for swift progress and ambition in reaching satisfactory and timely outcomes on the part of both the International Maritime Organisation and the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
Energy policy : Members welcomed recent signals from the US and Chinese governments regarding climate action and their willingness to play a more significant role in global efforts to address climate change.
Parliament called on the EU and its partners to find, in the immediate future, the most effective way of promoting links between the EU ETS and other trading schemes aiming for a global carbon market . It called on the Commission and the Member States to adopt without delay concrete measures for progressively phasing out all environmentally harmful subsidies by 2020 , including subsidies on fossil fuels.
European Parliament delegation : Parliament considered it unacceptable that Members of the European Parliament have been unable to attend the EU coordination meetings at previous Conferences of the Parties. It expects at least the Chair of the European Parliament delegation to be allowed to attend EU coordination meetings in Lima.
