Every year, global climate summits feature a parade of hypocrisy, as the world’s elite arrive on private jets to lecture humanity on cutting carbon emissions.

And the second law of Europe's climate package is approved. With this the national targets for Member States for the non-ETS sectors are set until 2030. Thursday we continue on land use!

Lara Wolters (PvdA) Tue 8 Nov 2022, 14:37

Companies should take responsibility for the climate now, not in a few years. Climate due diligence is vital, and business leaders and shareholders should implement 'Paris-proof' transition plans.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 8 Nov 2022, 09:35

Today I present my draft report on the revision of EU F-gas legislation (europarl.europa.eu/legisla­tive-tr…­). The existing law is a success for EU innovation and ‘the Brussels effect’ (EU law inspired global action). But we need to update it in order to deliver on our climate neutrality.

Dutch prime-minister spreads fake news. This nonsense about climate change is debunked by science.

De klimaattop over “klimaatschade” is begonnen. Dat betekent miljarden van de EU naar Afrika.

Maar niets voor niets, neo-kolonialisme met een klimaatsausje!

En hiervoor betaalt de burger de rekening.

A lot of climate files on the agenda again this week.

Dorien Rookmaker (OA-NI) Mon 7 Nov 2022, 07:56

While the EU welcomed Biden’s commitment to climate change: “the green transition is not something to be achieved at the expense of others”. US companies would gain an advantage that enables them to outcompete others, turning the fight against climate change into a zero-sum game.

Really great success! We have concluded the first climate package file. By 2035 it is the end of the combustion engine in Europe. Negotiations have concluded successfully tonight!

Jan Huitema (VVD) Thu 27 Oct 2022, 21:05

We did it, we have got a deal! From 2035 onwards, cars and vans will be climate friendly and green cars will become accessible to everyone.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Thu 27 Oct 2022, 16:39

There we go. Final (?) negotiations have started on CO2 and cars. A key part of Europe’s climate package.

Anja Hazekamp (PvdD) Wed 26 Oct 2022, 14:23

Thank you @ONEinEU for your fight against climate change and extreme poverty.

It's always great to meet youth activists!

The impact of the climate crisis is more intense than ever before. At the #COP27 we should not only prioritise raising our climate ambitions, but also establish a system that addresses loss and damage. I call upon the Council to finally take serious action on this.

"In 10 years time, the climate has changed" says van Rij.
Now time for international cooperation. OECD and the EU. Netherlands warmly supports EU law against shell companies.

The Hungarian government has taken numerous steps to dismantle judicial independence, from court packing, forced retirement and limiting court competences, to changing court structures, retributions, disciplinary proceedings and creating a climate of fear.

Paul Tang (PvdA) Thu 6 Oct 2022, 14:44

Extra capital requirements for fossil fuel exposures strengthens banks' protection against climate risks forever. And only costs them a few months profits.

It's a no brainer!

EU will lead the world in climate policy? The reality is that the world is laughing about this arrogance.

Time for realisme instead of idealism. We need payable energy. ⤵️

Good to see that @EUCouncil has reached an agreement in which the climate integrity of EU ETS is preserved.🌿

#RepowerEU should not increase emissions, it should increase our independence from Russian gas.

Looking forward to starting trilogues!

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 4 Oct 2022, 09:40

❗We have to maintain the climate integrity of our EU-ETS❗

Financing RePowerEU is not a reason for extra emissions.

That is why the @EP_Environment adopted its opinion on #RepowerEU yesterday, saying no to auctioning emissions from the Market Stability Reserve (MSR).

Big money silencing the opposition again and again.

Italian elections in a bit more than a week. Climate change should be high on the agenda; and Forza, Lega and FdI have always tried to slow down climate action in the EP…

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 14 Sep 2022, 14:22

Tillykke @NielsFuglsang!🎉

A great result: Energy efficiency plays not only a key role in achieving the climate goals🌿, but also tackles the current energy crisis 🤜🤛

Nestlé can't lie about the health benefits of their food products. So why should fund managers be allowed to lie about their fund's climate impact?

CETA can deliver on our common goals, such as addressing climate change and gender equality. The agreement provides a framework for this. We need to build on the experiences we have, and engage together to determine areas of improvement. (3/5)

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 23 Aug 2022, 11:51

Shocking news indeed. Mauro Petriccione was Director-General of DG Climate.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 16 Aug 2022, 15:24

Technical experts from @EBA_News are currently studying how to best address climate risk in the European banking rules. In the @Europarl_EN I push to build on their work, so that we can incorporate climate risk in our rules in a safe and sound way.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 16 Aug 2022, 15:24

Last month the @ecb published the results of its first climate stress test. It found that a non-orderly transition scenario combined with drought, heat and flood risk may lead to EUR 70 bln in short-term losses (even excluding side-effects and economic downturns).

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 16 Aug 2022, 15:24

The sector and @ecb are still in a learning phase: the most important conclusion of the stress test is that we simply do not have enough data to properly assess climate risk. This should change quickly, because we need to take climate risk seriously, based on a solid framework.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 16 Aug 2022, 15:24

With glaciers breaking off and heat records on a regular basis, it is clear that climate change is here and affecting us all. In recent years, central banks, the financial sector and supervisors have increased their role in the climate transition. Take climate risk, for example.

Rob Roos (JA21) Sat 6 Aug 2022, 13:05

🇬🇧 When people are cold, hungry and broke, they rebel. If the elites continue pushing incredibly expensive policies that are disconnected from the urgent challenges facing most people, we need to brace for chaos.

Absurd climate policy. Not only in Europe, also in the US.

Such an incredible amount of money that could be spent on better things. Things that will pay off. ⤵️

Rob Roos (JA21) Wed 3 Aug 2022, 16:22

The European Union and the United States both sharing absurd climate policy. The cost-benefit analysis of it, is absurdly bad. The West is wiping itself economically off the world map.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 13 Jul 2022, 10:53

This legislation is not only key in ensuring that the EU 🇪🇺 lives up to the Climate Law🌿, but will help us to gain more independence of Putin's gas.

➕ I'll start by saying that I favour the direct income support cap of 35%. This enables more money to be used for structural investments in climate-resilient housing and transport.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 29 Jun 2022, 15:47

✅ The FF55 package was approved by the Council today. Congratulations, @Europe2022FR, you beat Parliament’s time of 01:00AM by finishing at 02:15AM! As co-rapporteur on the Social Climate Fund, a few things stood out.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 29 Jun 2022, 09:35

Congratulations to the French presidency. @Europe2022FR 🇫🇷

This agreement between the members states on the #FitFor55 climate legislation was absolutely necessary to stay on track for our 2030 goals.

Time to start negotiating with the @Europarl_EN and finalize this package!

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 28 Jun 2022, 10:17

Important day for the climate today. 🌎

I hope the ministers find an agreement on the #FF55 package.

@Europarl_EN is ready to negotiate on some of the big files!

No time to waste! 💪

Thank you to all colleagues and staff for their great cooperation!
