Amendment 36 #
Paragraph 5
5. Welcomes the unprecedented pace of ratifications of the Paris Agreement as well as the global mobilisation and determination of both state and non-state actors for its full and rapid implementation as expressed in the commitments made under major global events such as the 2017 North American Climate Summit held in Chicago between 4-6 December 2017, the One Planet Summit held in Paris on 12 December 2017, as well as the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco between 12-14 September 2018; regrets, however, the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement and the negative signal it sends to the other stakeholders of the agreement;
Amendment 48 #
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of an ambitious EU climate policy in order to act as a credible and reliable partner globally, of maintaining the EU’s global climate leadership and adherence to the Paris Agreement inter alia through revisiting its own mid- and long-term goals and policy instruments, as well as through successfully concluding and adopting before COP24 ambitious provisions under the ongoing legislative revisions in the energy and climate package; calls on the Commission to prepare by the end of 2018 a mid-century zero emissions strategy for the EU, providing a cost-efficient pathway towards reaching the net zero emissions goal adopted in the Paris Agreement; notes that the involvement of each of the EU Member States is also vital and highlights the disparities which exist between the Member States as regards the level of ambition of their climate policies;
Amendment 72 #
Paragraph 12
12.

Amendment 91 #
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that the EU’s budget should be coherent with its international commitments on sustainable development and with its mid- and long-term climate and energy targets and should not be counterproductive to these targets or hampering their implementation; notes with concern that the target of 20 % of Union total spending dedicated to climate action is likely to be missed and calls therefore for corrective action; underlines further that the political discussions on the post-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework should have the climate and energy targets at its heart from the very beginning ensuring that the necessary resources to reach them will be in place; considers therefore that climate-related spending should be increased and reach 30 % as soon as possible and at the latest by 2027; notes, however, that account must equally be taken of the expenditure incurred by the Member States themselves if one wishes to have a realistic overview of spending on combating climate change at EU level;
Amendment 112 #
Paragraph 20
20. Regrets that the transport sector has not seen the same gradual decline in emissions as other sectors since 1990 even though this sector contributes significantly to CO2 emissions;
Amendment 121 #
Paragraph 23
23. Recalls that shipping CO2 emissions are projected to increase by 50 % to 250 % in the period to 2050; welcomes the agreement on the initial IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG emissions from ships during the 72nd session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee in April 2018, as a first step for the sector to contribute to the realisation of the temperature goal in the Paris Agreement; calls on the IMO to agree rapidly on the measures necessary to deliver on the targets, and stresses the importance and urgency of implementing those before 2023; underlines that further measures and action are needed to address maritime emissions and calls, therefore, on the EU and the Member States to closely monitor the impact and implementation of the IMO agreement and to consider additional EU action; notes that it is unproductive to systematically encourage an increase in international trade, in particular through the conclusion of free- trade agreements between the EU and other regions or countries, whilst at the same time wishing to see a reduction in CO2 emissions from maritime transport;
