Clear message from the architect of the Paris Climate Agreement, calling upon the EP to reject the taxonomy proposal

Eens met @EdNijpels. Daarom wil ik in het Social Climate Fund expliciet het ontwikkelen van een tweedehands elektrische automarkt voor het lage en middensegment opnemen. Concrete steun dus. Niet voor liberale luxebolides, maar voor auto's voor gewone gezinnen.

Today I was invited to participate in the discussion on #CBAM in the trade committee @EP_Trade

Although #CBAM is in the first place a climate measure, the trade perspective is extremely important.

Climate change leads to water shortages, extreme weather & hunger. We need to be smarter about how we use water, food & energy. Today, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) & the Netherlands organised a summit to discuss solutions. I encourage others to join this collaboration.

The climate crisis is here already, and it is here to stay.

Our response should be based on three principles. Make polluters pay, act global and think social.

@timbales @CarbonMrktWatch @Sam__Vdp How can you call it a cash cow when the ultimate goal is that trading partners have their own carbon pricing policies? + revenues will not be spend on EU industries.

What about for example Turkey's new climate ambition during COP26? no possible link with CBAM?

@d_le_nen As I told the FT: Climate club should be on top of CBAM. If you have clear implicit carbon policies, this will be reflected in the number of CBAM certificates that you will need to pay. But no exemption should be granted on the grounds of implicit carbon costs.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) wo 5 jan 2022, 10:47

Indirect emissions, such as emissions from electricity, should also be covered by CBAM after the pilot phase.

This is extremely important to heighten the climate ambition of this proposal. 🌎

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) wo 5 jan 2022, 10:47

Given the current climate emergency, we need a speedier phase-in of CBAM and a speedier phase-out of free allowances.

Guaranteeing free allowances until 2036 is not in line with the Union’s 2030 climate objectives. ❌

That's why I joined!

And a warm and heartfelt thank you to colleagues from all parts of our Union for the great support in the last couple of days. As @EPPGroup VP I remain committed to working with all of you on important issues, such as climate change, health, energy and jobs.

As rapporteur for the Social Climate Fund and as @EPPGroup Green Deal coordinator, I am committed to ensuring that no one is left behind. We should prioritize job creation, feasibility, and affordability. This is the kind of Europe my grandfather would have hoped for.

Deal done. In a UN global consensus world, the deal offers progress and puts pressure on all countries to do more. In the real world outside, the urgency of this climate crisis demands more. The gap between politics and the streets is accelerating the most tbh. #COP26

Empty threat. Climate targets have been enshrined in European law, with the support of Poland. Current negotiations are on implementation of those targets. Those laws will be adopted by qualified majority. If Poland is not at the table, the Polish demands will not be heard.

The EU is committed to tackling climate change, and the European Parliament praises the United States' return to the #ParisAgreement. However, it is disconcerting to see China, as a major carbon emitter, set less ambitious targets.

Climate policies are -surprise, surprise- scapegoated for rising energy prices in EP today.

But let's stick to the facts. The rise is largely caused by gas shortages. So we need to decrease our gas dependence fast.

Esther de Lange (CDA) wo 6 okt 2021, 11:30

Some critics point the finger at climate-protection policies. This oversimplifies the issue. Today our ETS policy actually prices the environmental cost of CO2 emissions into electricity. EU policies incentivise producers to switch to cost-efficient alternatives.
