Proposal for a decision
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) The urgency of the need to keep the Paris Agreement goal of 1.5 °C alive has become more significant following the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its report of 7 August 2021 entitled ‘Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis’. The IPCC found that global temperature will reach or exceed the 1.5°C mark earlier than previously anticipated, namely within the next 20 years. It also found that unless there are immediate and ambitious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, it will no longer be possible to limit global warming to close to 1.5 °C or even 2 °C.

(1b) The need for urgent action is further intensified by the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions as a direct result of climate change. According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the number of disasters recorded worldwide and the scale of global economic losses have nearly doubled in the last 20 years, much of which increase corresponds to the significant rise in the number of climate related disasters.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 3
(3) The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, 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 affects workers from various sectors, women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just andit includes just transition of workforce and it is inclusive, leaving no one behind.

Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Research and innovation will greatly contribute to achieve the ambitious goals of the ‘European Green Deal’, to make Europe the world's first climate-neutral economic area by 2050 and to transform climate and environmental challenges into opportunities. There is an urgent need for investment in innovation aiming to bring to market industrial solutions and zero- carbon technologies to decarbonise Europe and support its transition to climate neutrality. In particular, the Innovation Fund should focus on highly innovative technologies and supporting businesses, in particular SMEs, to create local, decent and future-proof jobs and reinforce European technological leadership on a global scale.
