(1) The Commission has, in its Communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’19 , set out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and, competitive and resilient economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well- being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. _________________ 19 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways20 provides a strong scientific basis for tackling climate change and illustrates the need to step up climate action on a global scale. It confirms that greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced, and that climate change needs to be limited to 1.5 °C, in particular to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events. The Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ (IPBES) 2019 Global Assessment Report21 showed a worldwide erosion of biodiversity, withstating that climate change asis only the third most important driver of biodiversity loss.22 _________________ 20IPCC, 2018: Global Warming of 1.5°C.

(23a) A well-functioning internal energy market is an important component of the energy transition and will help to make it financially viable. The development of smart and digital electricity and gas networks must therefore be given top priority in the multiannual financial framework MFF (TEN networks with Connecting Europe Facility CEF). Covid- 19 recovery programmes must also support the development of transnational energy grids. Effective and swift decision- making procedures are needed to support transnational grid developments, notably in future-oriented and hydrogen- compatible gas infrastructure.
