8 Amendments of Monika BEŇOVÁ related to 2018/2974(RSP)
Amendment 85 #
Paragraph 9
9. Notes however that those pathways rely to a large extent on carbon removal technologies, including through carbon capture and storage and direct air capture, that yet have to prove their feasibility; considers that the EU net-zero strategy should not overly rely on such technologies, which should complement direct emissions reductions; believes that further aemissions reductions by 2030 isare needed if the Union is to avoid relying on carbon removal technologies that would entail significant risks for ecosystems, biodiversity and food security as confirmed by the IPCC 1.5 report; notes that the most cost efficient and scientifically proven carbon removal technology is the production of wood-based products combined with sustainable forest management;
Amendment 124 #
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11 a. Believes that young people have increasingly strong social and environmental awareness, which has the power to transform our societies towards a climate resilient future, and that youth education represents one of the most effective tools to combat climate change; stresses the need to actively involve younger generations in building international, intercultural and intergenerational relationships, which underpin cultural change that will support the global efforts for a more sustainable future;
Amendment 199 #
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18 a. Emphasises that the successful transition towards a net-zero emission economy requires an integrated approach and the right enabling environment to better stimulate and support zero- and low emission mobility; calls for additional measures to be put in place to enable access to zero- and low-emission vehicles to consumers in all Member States; stresses the need for more public and private investments in the roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure, its integration into the energy systems, as well as the sustainable sourcing, production, supply, re-use and recycling of batteries in Europe, and reiterates the need for coherent action at EU, national, regional and local levels to achieve this;
Amendment 220 #
Paragraph 19
19. Considers that technology developments and new, innovative solutions, energy efficiency and sustainable renewable energy in the transport and power sectors will be key; underlines in this respect the importance of technology- specific strategies, such as forelectric mobility, hydrogen or methane;
Amendment 296 #
Subheading 5
Maximising the climate potential of forests and their contribution to the bio-economy
Amendment 308 #
Paragraph 24 a (new)
24 a. Highlights the need to make sustainable forest management more comercially competitive and to support practical measures with significant storage and sequestration effects such as using timber as building material both in cities and rural areas, replacement of fossil fuels and as a tool for better water retention;
Amendment 311 #
Paragraph 25
25. Recognises the positive, but ultimately limited potential for afforestation in Europe; therefore, believes that afforestation initiatives must be complemented by concrete initiatives and incentives aiming to maximisenhance the sequestration potential, while securing and enhancing the health of existing forest lands through restoration in order to reap benefits for bothe climate, bio-economy and biodiversity, supports, therefore, the afforestation of abandoned and marginally productive agricultural land, agroforestry and the minimisation of conversion of forest areas to other land uses;
Amendment 377 #
Paragraph 32 a (new)
32 a. Emphasises that the transition towards a net-zero GHG economy requires renewable energy sources as well as the substitution of products and materials which are fossil-based or which create high emissions during production with products and materials based on renewable resources.
