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. Considering international solidarity and the historical emissions of European countries, the Union has a particular responsibility to urgently reduce its emissions and a responsibility for loss and damage caused by climate change impacts.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The Union should aimgive priority to the reduction of anthropogenic emissions while aiming to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union and at individual Member State level by 20540. The Union-wide 20540 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 wiland Member State level constitute anequally important parts of the measures needed to achieve the objective.

Recital 14
(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 regeneration of ecosystems 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.

Recital 15
(15) In taking the relevant measures at Union and national level to achieve the climate-neutrality objective, Member States and the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take into account the contribution of the transition to climate neutrality to the well- being of citizens, the prosperity of society and the competitivenesslong-term sustainability of the economy; energy and, food security, food sovereignty and affordability; fairness and solidarity across and within Member States considering their economic capability, national circumstances and the need for convergence over time; the need to make the transition just and socially fair; best available scientific evidence, in particular the findings reported by the IPCC, IPBES and the EPCC; the need to integrate climate change related risks into investment and planning decisions; cost- effectiveness and technological neutrality in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals and increasing resilience; progression over time in environmental integrity and level of ambition.

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) To ensure the Union and the Member States remain on track to achieve the climate-neutrality objective and progress on adaptation, the Commission should regularly assess progress. Should the collective progress made by Member States towards the achievement of the climate-neutrality objective or on adaptation be insufficient or Union measures inconsistent with the climate- neutrality objective or inadequate to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and regeneration of ecosystems or reduce vulnerability, the Commission should take the necessary measures in accordance with the Treaties. The Commission should also regularly assess relevant national measures, and issue recommendations where it finds that a Member State’s measures are inconsistent with the climate-neutrality objective or inadequate to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and regeneration of ecosystems and reduce vulnerability to climate change.

(23 a) Due to the particularly high amount of greenhouse gas emissions emitted by airplanes, cruise ships and fossil fuel cars, a warning message covering 20 % of the advertisements for these transport modes should be included in the advertisements, as misleading and aggressive advertisements are prohibited by Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices.

Article 5 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. In order to ensure continuous progress towards the achievement of climate neutrality set out in articles 1and 2, the Commission and the Member States shall fully take into account the obligations set out in the Article 3(b) of Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment and in Article 3, paragraph 1 and Article 4 of Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment as with a view to address the greenhouse gas emissions of public and private projects during their whole life cycle, such as those occurring in the construction and operational phase and including indirect emissions in a project’s value chain. In addition, any energy and transport infrastructure projects must, upon independent assessment, be deemed consistent with the 2030, 2050 and possibly 2040 climate objectives and coherent with the Union objective of building a fully renewables- based, highly resource and energy- efficient, climate-neutral and circular economy.
