(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 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 onesocially acceptable for all, and be based on solidarity and collaborative effort at the Union level, ensuring that no one is left 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. It confirms that greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced, and that cEuropean Union and its Member States are fully committed to the Paris Agreement and its long-term goals, and call for urgently enhanced global ambition in light of the latest available science, including recent reports released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate cChange needs to be limited to 1.5 °C, in particular to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality should requires a contribution from all ETS and non-ETS economic sectors. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential, including natural gas and nuclear energy as lower-carbon bridging technologies to support the energy transition. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective, which will require additional funding for research, development, implementation, and production support.

(6a) The Commission should recommend a detailed plan with all suggested necessary legislative and non- legislative measures in order to achieve a climate neutral economy in the EU by 2050. This plan should identify the key barriers and the measures that will be implemented at EU level to support the transformation of each sector of the economy. The capital investment efforts of all sectors should be comparable taking into account their relative size and fair burden sharing. Where this is not feasible, domestic and international offsetting should be permitted in order to ensure that the costs of transformation are fair and reasonable.

(17) The Commission, in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’, announced its intention to assess and make proposals for increasing the Union’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 to ensure its consistency with the climate-neutrality objective for 2050. In that Communication, the Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to the climate-neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part. By September 2020, tThe Commission should, based on a robust comprehensive impact assessment that takes into consideration the observed and expected socio-economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking into account its analysis of the integrated nNational eEnergy and cClimate pPlans submitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , review the Union’s 2030 target for climate and explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 % emission reductions compared with 1990 levels, additionally providing information on the reported Union-wide emissions and removals projected for 2030. To allow for an informed discussion, results of this analysis should also include the updated costs of achieving the current 2030 target of 40% and the costs of achieving a new 2030 target. This will constitute an indispensable basis for policymakers to be able to decide on the most cost-efficient scenario for Europe. Where it considers necessary to amend the Union’s 2030 target, it should make proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation as appropriate. In addiWithin 9 months of the impact assessment’s completion, the Commission should, by 30 June 2021, thoroughly assess how the Union legislation implementing that target would need to be amended in order to achieve the proposed emission reductions of 50 to 55 % compared to 1990. _________________ 36Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

(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 and gaps in required support. 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 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 reduce vulnerability to climate change.

(21) In order to maintain the credibility of the Union’s leadership in the field of climate change, as well as to provide predictability and confidence for all economic actors, including businesses, workers, investors and consumer, consumers, and trade union representatives from all EU Member States, to ensure that the transition towards climate neutrality is irreversible, to ensure gradual reduction over time and to assist in the assessment of the consistency of measures and progress with the climate- neutrality objective, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to set out a trajectory for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated actsdetermine the emission reduction targets has to be exercised with the full participation of all key Union institutions i.e. after a thorough impact assessment, via ordinary legislative procedure, and following the strategic guidance given by the European Council, and where relevant, in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37. _________________ 37 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

(21a) All key sectors of the economy will have to work together to deliver on climate neutrality, namely energy, industry, transport, the heating and cooling and building sector, agriculture, waste and land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). All ETS and non- ETS sectors should undertake comparable efforts to deliver on the Union’s neutrality objective. In order to provide predictability, confidence and involvement of all economic actors, including businesses, workers, investors and consumers, the Commission should establish guidance for the sectors of the economy that could contribute most to achieve the climate-neutrality objective. The guidance should contain indicative trajectories for greenhouse gases reduction in those sectors at Union level. This would provide them with the certainty to take the appropriate measures, to plan the necessary investments and therefore would assist in staying on the path of the transition. At the same time, this would also serve as a mechanism of sectors’ engagement into the pursuit of climate neutrality solutions.
