13 Amendments of Andrzej GRZYB related to 2018/2974(RSP)
Amendment 25 #
Paragraph 3
3. EmphasisNotes that, according to the IPCC 1.5 Special report, limiting global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot implies toassumes reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally by 2060 at the latest, and to cap, and capping global GHG emissions by 2030 to around 25-30 GtCO2eq per year;
Amendment 35 #
Paragraph 4
4. Recalls its demand expressed in its COP23 resolution for the Commission to prepare by COP24 a mid-century zero emissions strategy for the Union; welcomes in this regard the publication of the Commission Communication "A Clean Planet for all – A European strategic long- term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy"; asks the Member States to agree on a cost- effective net- zero 2050 strategy, in line with actions taken at global level and taking into consideration differences in GDP per capita among Member States, as part of the future Europe debate, at the special EU summit in Sibiu in May 2019;
Amendment 45 #
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that the strategy presents eight pathways for the economic, technological and social transformation needed for the Union to comply with the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement; stresses that there are many ways to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 at the latest, but that this requires swift action from the local and regional levels to the national level; calls on the Member States to put in place clear targets and policies and provide investment support for net-zero pathways and adopt long-term strategies as foreseen in the Governance Regulation;
Amendment 52 #
Paragraph 6
6. Highlights that the first category of pathways aims at reducing GHG emissions by only around 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels; notes with concern that such ambition represents the lower range of holding global warming below 2°C and is therefore notis in line with the Paris objective of holding global temperature rise to well below 2°C, with the further aim of keeping it below 1.5°Climit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels;
Amendment 61 #
Paragraph 7
7. Points that the EU GDP is expected to increase more under zero emissions scenarios than in scenarios with lower emission reductions, however this may be spread unevenly across the EU taking into account differences in GDP per capita among Member States; considers that the price of non-action would be by far the costliest scenario and would not only result in massive GDP loss in Europe, but also further increase economic inequalities between Member States as some are expected to be harder hit than others by the consequences of inaction;
Amendment 70 #
Paragraph 8
Amendment 105 #
Paragraph 10
10. Welcomes that the Commission clearly expresses that net-zero emissions are possible without net job losses and that they put a lot of emphasis on the transition in the energy intensive industry; highlights that a just transition towards net-zero GHG emissions has the potential to create a net gain of more than 1 million additional jobs in the Union; notes that the transition to net-zero emissions will involve social costs in many European regions, including the net job losses, especially in energy and energy intensive industry; stresses the importance of safeguarding a just transition in most affected employment sectors and to include just transition as one of the key elements of the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework.
Amendment 155 #
Paragraph 14
Amendment 169 #
Paragraph 15
15. Supports an update of the Union’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC); calls therefore on EU leaders to consider raiseviewing the level of ambition of the Union’s NDC at the special EU Summit in Sibiu in May 2019, in view of the UN Climate Summit in September 2019;in 2025 taking into account the first official global stocktake in 2023.
Amendment 172 #
Paragraph 16
Amendment 179 #
Paragraph 17
Amendment 234 #
Paragraph 20
20. Underlines the central importance of a renewable and low emission-based power sector and asks the Commission and the Member States to take all necessary action in that regard as it will have spill- over effects across all economic sectors; highlights that all pathways assume full decarbonisationcarbon neutrality of the power sector by 2050, a drastic reduction of fossil fuels and a strong increase in renewable and low- emission energies;
Amendment 332 #
Paragraph 27
27. Considers that in order for the Union to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, substantial private investments need to be mobilised; believes that this requires long- term planning and regulatory stability and predictability for investors and that future EU-regulations need to take this into consideration, especially for the period up to, and post 2030; stresses therefore that the implementation of the Sustainable Finance Action Plan adopted in March 2018 should be prioritised; Stresses that while implementing the Sustainable Finance Action Plan and supporting sustainable investments, investments in all technologies allowing for low-carbon energy transition should be supported.
