+1Good morning Helsinki! 🌞

Today I’ll speak on the importance of the use of non-economic indicators to monitor climate policies.

Interessant artikel over hoe radicale klimaatactivisten ‘democratie’ willen smoren. Vooral als de bevolking zich verzet. Vrijheid van meningsuiting als eerste doelwit. ‘Soft Stalinism’! Ook in NL.

It is too simple to only talk about a just transition fund, we should not only have a green deal or only have a European climate law, but also a strong industrial strategy to make sure we have the cleanest, most innovative industry that actually keeps jobs. #EPlenary #Climate

This time my travel to Strasbourg brings me to the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg first. Debating how to make EIB a truly Climate Bank.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 8 Oct 2019, 19:30

.@TimmermansEU is clearly committed. He will deliver higher ambition next year, but he asks for much analysis before to commit to -55%. What the Climate Law will do in the first 100 days remains unclear. More from the Commission’s own Long-term Strategy should be used.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 8 Oct 2019, 19:26

@jujikucz @TimmermansEU @GreensEFA Hmmm. Agree that Climate law should not be an empty shell as FT rightfully states. But then he asks for more analysis time, although a lot of anlaysis has been done in the Long-term strategy already. And the climate law is promised in the first 100 days. Something has to give....

Paul Tang (PvdA) Tue 8 Oct 2019, 11:42

.@VDombrovksis wants to make our economy more social and inclusive. Great!
But he refuses to commit to creating a #fossilfree @EIB. EIB can never be our "climate bank" if it continues funding fossil fuels. EU should lead the way on #sustainablefinance #EPhearings2019

Agnes Jongerius (PvdA) Tue 8 Oct 2019, 11:37

De Climate Bank moet veel meer middelen krijgen als we de #GreenDeal en de eerlijke duurzame transitie tot een succes willen maken, zegt @larrouturou terecht.

Vooralsnog levert @VDombrovskis geen boter bij de vis.
Ik maak me op voor wat potjes armpje drukken de komende jaren.

Next week in the same Montreal @icao could listen to them for a change by finally working on real climate action for international aviation....

.@OECD employment director @stescarpetta names 3 megatrends in "Transition agenda for future that works for all"-presentation for @EPSocialAffairs.
Not sure whether his labour market is on the same planet as mine, but climate change and just transition were missing completely.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 18 Sep 2019, 19:34

Honoured. As vice-chair I have been appointed head of the @EPPGroup ‘Working Group on Economy & Environment’. I will be coordinating policy on the economy, climate, labour market, industry & more. Heavy task, but motivated. First job 👉 preparing hearings of the @EU_Commission.

+1We need to introduce the notion of "ecological solidarity", says @mbohmert. "Let's end the myth that climate policies and economic growth are incompatible", says @Ambroise_Mejean. Climate and environment are clearly topping the agenda of @JeunesMacron #CampusLaREM

Rob Roos (JA21) Sat 17 Aug 2019, 17:26

Really, China a strong supporter of the Paris agreement and global climate governance? China is going to develop between 300 and 500 new coal power plants by 2030. The country could add a large coal power plant every 2 weeks for the next 12 years.

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) Fri 16 Aug 2019, 14:35

At @FYEG / @GreensEFA summer conference 12 year old @AtlasSarrafoglu told us about his journey as a @FridaysTurkey climate striker.
So much optimism and hope. 💚

European Commission on climate neutrality one year ago: ec.europa.eu/clima/news/co­m…­

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Thu 11 Jul 2019, 20:21

@FrMagnin I don’t go for easy labels. EPP is a diverse group where for example the Nordics and Benelux go for more climate ambition. I see a candidate not leaning to them on climate, but leaning to Hungary on rule of law. You can choose that direction but don’t expect my support.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Thu 11 Jul 2019, 18:43

Renew more concerned about position Vestager and a Conference that Verhofstadt will lead than climate action. Good to know; especially for Macron voters.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 10 Jul 2019, 18:29

@florianeder I don’t expect that. But i expect reasons to vote for her. Where do you see reasons to vote for her from a Green perspective? In most issues she will look into it. On climate she wants us to lower ambition. Even on rule of law, she refuses to answer on Fidesz.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 10 Jul 2019, 17:57

@florianeder You can also follow the debate and just see she is totally avoiding any concrete answer. Most concrete on climate, but there she goes lower than the previous parliament. Tell me; what would you judge?

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 10 Jul 2019, 17:49

Until now @vonderleyen is very disappointing. Lowering the climate ambition compared to previous EP, vague on air quality and agriculture, trade could be different but not clear how and now evasive on economic governance. On top no comment on Selmayr....

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 10 Jul 2019, 12:40

@pcanfin @RenewEurope Previous Commission already agreed to climate neutrality in 2050. What will she propose to increase ambition in 2030? How will she convince ministers of finance on EIB (they decide)?

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 10 Jul 2019, 10:53

So after climate elections @vonderleyen offers a lower target than the previous Parliament positioned itself on.... What is she thinking?

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Sat 22 Jun 2019, 14:12

Thread. Polish government doesn’t like comments that are asking for more climate action from Polish government. Unblocks couple of accounts only after complaints. Democracy in Europe?

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 18 Jun 2019, 18:19

So we have 22 member states now supporting a climate neutral EU economy by 2050. Romania as Presidency will follow the Council, so 5 to go. Croatia and Lithuania haven’t clarified their position yet. Remaining problem childs: Poland, Czech Republic and Estonia.

@Panachevert @europeangreens @SkaKeller @GreensEP @Greenpeace That document is from the Council (member states). Indeed very weak on climate. Parliamentary negotiations only started yesterday. Greens will push for more ambition on climate (otherwise we won’t be part of the deal). We keep you posted; now too early to tell!

Man made climate change? Uh? So who is making money out of this ‘man made climate change’ hoax?

Government sponsored companies paid by tax payers money!

The ordinary people fooled again.

In front of the Ministry for Energy and Industry protests again demanding urgent climate action from this German government. Again the Grand Coalition fails; time we change that in Brussels.

We need to act urgently on climate change. The longer we wait, the more people will suffer.

And Weber and the EPP are dinosaurs 🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖 who have failed to deliver in the past five years.
