Paragraph 3
3. Considers that profound and possibly irreversible impacts at 2°C rise in global temperatures might be avoided if the more ambitious target of 1.5°C is attained; stresses that this goal would require rising global GHG emissions to fall to net zero by 2050; underlines that the necessary technological solutions needed are available and are becoming increasingly cost competitive and that all EU policies should be closely aligned to the chosen emissions targets of individual states; looks forward, therefore, to the findings of the 2018 Special IPCC report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 ºC above pre-industrial levels;
