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

Esther de Lange (CDA) Mon 31 Jan 2022, 10:27

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.

Spoke at the Circular Europe Days of @CEStakeholderEU.

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.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 12 Jan 2022, 11:34

@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) Wed 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) Wed 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. ❌

@jvWzsJiodtxbXQe @_GlobalCrisis_ Climate change is not a cause or a threat but a result or effect of globalization, overconsumption and overpopulation. The earth will survive.. if humans will? it depends on our use of common sense and logic.

Today @social_platform launches the Group of Social Pillar Champions!
 
It brings together MEPs who are supporters of social rights. As we face numerous challenges - from the pandemic to climate change - we need ambitious solutions embedded in social policy.

That's why I joined!

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 24 Nov 2021, 19:28

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.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 23 Nov 2021, 18:03

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.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Tue 23 Nov 2021, 09:30

Important thread! ECB has assessed to which level European banks are prepared for future climate risks. The answer: totally not. Big question: what will be ECB’s next step?

@ClimateHuman @GretaThunberg We have to accept Climate Change is coming and there is little we can do to stop it.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Sat 13 Nov 2021, 21:01

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

Glasgow Climate Pact…. Para 36 intact gebleven. Deal op Rulebook is ook rond. Closing plenaire lijkt te kunnen beginnen. Deal is bijna daar.

Terwijl buiten het schitterende Lake District voorbij voorbijkomt, komen ook de nieuwe teksten van #COP26 binnen: gemengde gevoelens bij de draft decision on climate finance - een stapje dichter bij de 100 miljard voor ontwikkelingslanden maar we zijn er nog niet.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Thu 11 Nov 2021, 19:06

With a deal looming, #COP26 can help us move closer to our climate goals. But we can only do so together - including polluters like Russia and China. We all need to step up our game. #GreenDeal @EPPGroup

No groundbreaking G20 conclusions on climate. Important acknowledgement that the coming years will be crucial. This means we can't wait until 2025 for another review round after Glasgow. Best point on stopping unabated coal support abroad this year still: consilium.europa.eu/en/pre­ss/press…­

Just six years after the #ParisAgreement, #COP26 will be the most important climate conference so far. As part of the @Europarl_EN delegation, I will head to Glasgow to exchange thoughts and convince other politicans to join the EU's ambitious targets.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Thu 28 Oct 2021, 16:30

Forgetting Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement, where parties have promised to align their financial flows with climate targets. Logical, if you are planning to promote gas investments in the taxonomy...

This weekend @Europarl_EN brings together European citizens, organisations & institutions to discuss #FutureofEurope. Glad to attend and to hear ideas on e.g. fighting climate change. Let's turn these ideas into concrete proposals for the EU to follow-up on. #TheFutureIsYours

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Thu 21 Oct 2021, 11:40

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.

Dorien Rookmaker (OA-NI) Wed 13 Oct 2021, 08:57

Theme 2021: for the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is “International co-operation for developing countries to reduce their disaster risk and disaster losses”. Because 2021 is a make-or-break year for delivering on the 2015 Paris Agreement to counter climate change.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 12 Oct 2021, 16:12

Finally I'd want to express my gratitude to @lidiafopereira for facilitating successful and constructive negotiations. 🙏 The #COP26 meeting in Glasgow will be critical in achieving a climate- and people-friendly energy transition. The EU is ready for it.

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 12 Oct 2021, 16:12

As a result, the European Parliament has called for increased global ambitions to combat climate change, such as a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM) to encourage industries outside the EU to invest in green technologies while ensuring a level playing field. #COP26

Esther de Lange (CDA) Tue 12 Oct 2021, 16:12

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.

+1Together with 44 MEPs, I wrote to @EIB president Hoyer to support his efforts to create Europe’s Climate Bank. This means integrating the EU’s sustainable finance agenda, including protection of human rights and a strong policy not to harm people and planet

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 6 Oct 2021, 17:26

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) Wed 6 Oct 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.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Wed 6 Oct 2021, 07:55

If they cannot agree on Europe's role in the world, on migration, the rule of law, fiscal policies, covid measures or climate targets, then they do not really qualify as "leaders", do they

Agnes Jongerius (PvdA) Thu 23 Sep 2021, 16:25

With the covid-19 pandemic and climate challenges, the EU is facing issues that require ambitions solutions. These solutions need to be embedded in social policy, so no one is left behind!
