Our European ambitious climate goals and measures will set an example for countries all over the world. Also politicians from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea were interested, in particular about the upcoming EU Taxonomy and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

Started our visit to Banja Luka with a meeting of local NGOs. These brave people are on the front line of Dodik’s autocratic rule. They described an increasingly hostile climate: being purposely targeted by the government and the international community silently tolerating it.

Esther de Lange (CDA) wo 15 jun 2022, 14:04

A good deal that leaves both breathing space for industry to safeguard investments and jobs but also gives ambition to European climate policy. I would like to thank @MChahim and @pcanfin for their good cooperation!

Climate change is volksverlakkerij.

Mede gevolg van inflatie: The setback shows how politically complicated it will be to approve legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change, as governments and industries deal with growing concern over inflation, including steep rises in energy costs.

EU green agenda suffers blow after MEPs reject part of climate bill via @FT
De afgelopen week heeft laten zien dat er een meerderheid bestaat in het EP tegen overambitieuze klimaatfanatici van links. Het kan dus wel. on.ft.com/3mRTEDX

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 17:22

Effort sharing adopted. Deal as struck in ENVI maintained. No surprises. We now move to land-use change; a file where additional climate ambition can be achieved.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 17:10

And the votes have started again. Voting first Effort Sharing Regulation, where climate reduction targets are set for Member States. Less controversial vote, will go smooth.

Esther de Lange (CDA) wo 8 jun 2022, 16:12

3/ Why is this so important for us? It is not about paper realities. It is about making sure that CBAM works in practice so that we protect jobs in Europe, while having the most ambitious climate laws in the world.

Esther de Lange (CDA) wo 8 jun 2022, 15:57

1/ Who said the European Parliament was boring, he? Emotions running high as Socialists team up with the ‘usual suspects’ (Greens, far Left and far Right) to vote against the revision of ETS - the central part of the climate package.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 14:02

Vote on Social Climate Fund is easier. Important that SMEs remain excluded. Final vote not taken to allow alignment with ETS. On CBAM no vote take, since we have the same issue on free allowances there. So ETS, Social Climate Fund and CBAM back to the ENVI committee.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 08:54

It will be a long day… Big climate package vote today!

Rob Roos (JA21) wo 8 jun 2022, 08:03

🇬🇧 Today we vote in the European Parliament on large parts of the #Fitfor55 climate package.

Impact: Major social changes and more price hikes that no one asked for.

And the immeasurably small result really doesn't really help the planet.

Rob Roos (JA21) di 7 jun 2022, 19:35

Today we discuss #Fitfor55: the biggest #climate legislation package of all time. Energy #taxes will rise because of it.

Costs: €5000 billion.

Effect: 0,004°C less global warming; considerable price hikes.

I told @TimmermansEU how I think about this:

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) di 7 jun 2022, 18:53

Climate change is still happening.
We are about to overshoot the 1.5 degrees target, which will hit the poorest the most if we don't act vigorously now. There is no social justice without climate justice.

That's at stake in tomorrow's vote on the #Fitfor55 climate package.

Paul Tang (PvdA) di 7 jun 2022, 13:14

Banks and insurers who are exposed to climate risks need to have the capital to back them up!

Important step by 🇳🇱 government: they want capital requirements and exposure limits for climate risks

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) di 7 jun 2022, 11:36

Some want to have #CBAM and keep free allowances. You cannot have your cake, eat it & have the cherry on top. It frustrates me that they pretend to fight for the climate goals. I take the climate law very serious. SO let’s not make laws knowing we will break them! #Fitfor55

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) di 7 jun 2022, 11:28

The vote on CBAM is tomorrow; we have 1 day left. Maybe instead of reading emails of lobbyists, it is time to listen to our children&grandchildren and all voices of our young generations. It's time for the EP to deliver what is needed for the climate law & for future generations.

Nonsens. Prices of energy are rising because the investments in reliable fossil were stopped by billions of subsidies for unreliable renewables which depend on weather conditions. EU climate policy created the problem. Also the dependence on Russian gas. It is just Greenflation.

The transition towards climate neutrality in Europe also means a socially fair transition, taking into account the different starting points of Member States. Pleasure to talk to minister Barna Tánczos of @RO_env about the fit for 55 climate package.

The energy transition will only succeed if all Europeans can make the transition, not only the 'happy few'. Our report on the Social Climate Fund, together with @DavidCasaMEP, was adopted in the ENVI committee with a big majority. Thank you colleagues for the broad support! #SCF

What is good for the climate, is often good for our physical and mental health. Already at an early age we should pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle. This should go hand in hand with looking after our planet. That was the clear message in the #CoFE plenary earlier today.

Our dependence on Russian gas is the result of climate policy in Brussels. A deep recession is imminent: my message: "Continue to support #Ukraine, do not commit economic suicide. Draw a line through the Green Deal and focus on nuclear energy!" #ECR

Good to see 11 countries calling on the Council to accelerate the work on the Fit for 55 package.

The current situation calls for ambitious climate legislation.

Let’s get to work 💪

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) di 5 apr 2022, 18:43

Multiple reports of the IPCC have been self-explanatory: climate is changing, impacts are severe, but solutions are there.

From a climate and a geopolitical perspective, we need to stop the expansion of coal, oil and gas and start debating an import ban on Russia’s fossil fuels.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) ma 4 apr 2022, 19:57

Today the @IPCC_CH published another important report on climate mitigation.

We have a major challenge ahead of us limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.

But we must succeed, so no time to waste. 💪

Uhm. So E3G did a close calculation, concluding we only need 50 bcm LNG for this decade. Now Commission signs a contract with the US for 50 bcm. Making the same mistakes again! No diversification. Fossil lock-in. And ps, CO2 footprint of LNG is much worse. Climate change anyone?

+1Together with colleagues, I wrote a letter to @JosepBorrellF, to urge the EU Commission to extend the sanctions framework for Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is set to expire this month. Non-extension would send an extremely wrong signal and might create a climate of impunity.

FuelEU targets are too low and Europe must be more ambitious to achieve climate neutrality. We must invest in e-fuels to achieve sustainable shipping .

Finally, we are there. #Nuclear and #gas are ‘green’ for investment’s the Commission says. 👏👏

If the @GreensEFA really believes that climate change is a problem, they should support this decision because it is the only solution.
