Tackle Climate Change in Europe. Anderson, J. In MEPs' Action Plans for a One Planet Europe. The WWF European Policy Office, 2014. abstract bibtex [Excerpt] In order to give certainty to investors and a clear position for international negotiations, the EU is developing a new framework of climate and energy laws for 2030. The recent European Parliament own-initiative report on the 2030 climate and energy targets goes further than the agreement reached by the European Council. A major weakness of the Commission's assessment of the impact of decarbonisation is that it considers only costs, and fail to account for the benefits of climate and energy policies. WWF believes it is not yet too late for the EU to salvage its framework for 2030. By agreeing a serious legislative framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the EU can regain its leadership role in international efforts to tackle climate change. This is particularly important ahead of the UN Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, at which a new global deal should be agreed. [...] [::] 80\,% of Europeans recognise that fighting climate change and using energy more efficiently can boost the economy and employment [1] [\n][...] [::] Reduced energy imports thanks to renewable energy and energy efficiency would mean the EU saves \texteuro 555 billion on fossil fuel imports over 20 years under the most ambitious decarbonisation scenario considered by the Commission [2] [::] The latest climate science shows developed countries should aim for deeper cuts [3]. Yet despite the EU's target of cutting emissions by 80-95% by 2050, the Commission's proposed 2030 target of 40\,% greenhouse gas cuts is only in line with the target of 80\,% cuts by 2050. The Parliament should therefore set a higher 2030 target (-55\,% GHG) in order to keep 95\,% domestic greenhouse gas cuts by 2050 within reach. [::] The EU was the early driver of international action to combat climate change. Now, nearly 100 countries have significant climate policies, and 138 countries have renewable energy targets [4]. The next EU climate and energy policies are a critical opportunity to build momentum for a new global agreement in Paris at the UN climate conference in 2015. [::] Without European leadership it is unlikely that other countries will take the action needed to avoid global temperature increases of 3.5°C or more. Such failure would expose the EU to climate related damages of at least \texteuro 190 billion a year - a loss of 1.8\,% of GDP [5]. Weather-related extremes events could roughly double in frequency. [::] 90\,% of people in the EU believe climate change is a serious problem and believe governments should take immediate action [6].
