(2 a) The transformation of the Union's energy and transport system towards a system of energy self-sufficiency and clean power, which is fully or mainly relying on renewable energy is not possible in the given timeline by relying on domestic renewable resources alone. To end the Union’s dependency of Russian fossil fuels and fossil fuels in general, a broad and coherent Union strategy is needed, which would also include the import of renewable energies, renewable hydrogen and transitional low- carbon energy from partner developed and developing countries. Such strategy should serve as a basis for the Union’s energy diplomacy, helping the green energy transition also in the partner developing and, especially, least developed countries with the aim of attaining the international goals of Paris agreement, Agenda 2030 and its global Sustainable Development Goals.

Recital 2 b (new)
(2 b) There is an enormous potential for the Union and its partner developing countries in terms of technology transfer and cooperation, renewable energy projects, clean energy export and development of greater interconnectivity of clean energy grids. Despite their steady growth, overall, renewable energy investments remain concentrated in a handful of regions and countries. Regions dominated by developing and least developed countries remain consistently underrepresented. Union energy partnerships should target at renewable energy generation projects and at setting legal and financial frameworks. Commitments on good governance, dis- engagement from relations and cooperation with Union values-hostile countries, and the perspective of stable, long-term cooperation should be conditional for the Union cooperation. Sustainable energy cooperation with partner developing countries should be one of the key priorities under the Global Gateway Initiative.

(3) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council9 sets a binding Union target to reach a share of at least 32 % of energy from renewable sources in the Union's gross final consumption of energy by 2030. Under the Climate Target Plan, the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption would need to increase to 405% by 2030 in order to achieve the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction target10 . Therefore, the target set out in Article 3 of that Directive needs to be increased. _________________ 9 Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82–209 10 Point 3 of the Communication from the Commission COM(2020) 562 final of 17.9.2020, Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition Investing in a climate- neutral future for the benefit of our people
