Amendments (8)

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) The Union is a global leader in the transition towards climate neutrality, and is determined to help raise global ambition and to strengthen the global response to climate change, using all tools at its disposal, including climate diplomacy. and its trade policy. In order to avoid the phenomenon of imported pollution and to raise the production standards of its trade partners, the Union is adapting its trade policy to introduce a border compensation mechanism, notably for carbon. It is also upholding its principles in multilateral forums and giving tangible effect to them in bilateral trade agreements, where access to the European market must always be conditional upon a raising of production standards.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and the Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective. To measure the progress and tangible impact on the environment of climate change decisions, the Commission should aim to use resources and tools for operational monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions, including the European Earth Observation programme, Copernicus.

(14) Adaptation is a key component of the long-term global response to climate change. Therefore, Member States and the Union should enhance their adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change, as provided for in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement, as well as maximise the co- benefits with other environmental policies and legislation. Member States should adopt comprehensive national adaptation strategies and plans. In the area of agriculture, adaptation and resilience depend in particular on a water sharing a storage policy adapted to promote carbon capture in biomass and its storage in soils.
