Amendments (9)
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2
To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. All these changes will occur alongside a fair and adequate social transition, with emphasis being placed on the creation of those opportunities and new jobs in the hardest-hit areas, and on the importance of retraining for workers in the coal industry and the acquisition of new skills. _________________ 17 Substantial decarbonisation of other sectors is addressed in other areas of the Horizon Europe Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 6
Transport ensures the mobility of the people and goods necessary for an integrated European single market, for development, for territorial cohesion and an open and inclusive society. At the same time,On the other hand, pollution from the transport sector has significant negative effects on human health, on congestion, on land, on air quality and noise, as well as on safety, resulting in numerous premature deaths and increased socio-economic costs. Therefore, sustainable mobility and transport networks need to become clean, safe, accessible for all users and modes of transport, smart, secure, silent, reliable and affordable, offering a seamless integrated and interconnected door-to-door service.

Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 9
Finding new ways to accelerate the deployment of clean technologies and solutions for the decarbonisation of the European economy also requires also increased demand for innovation. This can be stimulated through the empowerment of citizens as well as socio-economic and public sector innovation and will lead to approaches broader than technology-driven innovation. Socio-economic research covering, inter alia user, the needs and patterns of all users, foresight activities, environmental, economic, social and behavioural aspects, geographical localisation (urban or rural scenarios), business cases and models and pre- normative research for standard -setting, will also facilitate actions fostering regulatory, financing and social innovation, skills, as well as engagement and empowerment of market players and consumers.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.5 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.5 – paragraph 1
It is estimated that by 2050, more than 80% of the EU'’s population will live in urban areas, consuming the lion'’s share of available resources, including energy, and being areas; these areas will furthermore be particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of meteorological change impacts worsen by, which are already worsening as a result of climate change and natural disasters, already now andnd will become increasingly bad in the future. A key challenge is to significantly increase the overall energy and resource efficiency as well as climate- resilience of Europe'’s cities in a holistic fashion, targeting the building stock, energy systems, mobility, climate change, as well as water, soil, air quality, waste and noise. Synergies with ERDF- funded urban policy and actions should be investigated and exploited. Furthermore, special attention will need to be paid to the mobility and security of the remaining 20% of the EU population living in rural and remote areas, looking into the most efficient and effective strategies in the both the transport sector (infrastructure, smart and interconnected mobility) and the energy sector to ensure optimum security when it comes to logistics and energy.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.6 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.6 – paragraph 1
The shift towards clean technologies, connectivity and automation will depend on the timely design and manufacture of aircraft, vehicles and vessels integrating different technologies and accelerating their introduction. Increasing comfort, efficiency, affordability, while minimising lifecycle impact on the environment, human health and on energy use remain objectives of paramount importance. Innovative, highly capable, interoperable, multimodal transport infrastructure is essential for the proper functioning of all transport modes in view of increased mobility demand and rapidly changing technology regimes. An integrated approach to infrastructure and vehicle/vessel/aircraft development deserves particular attention also in order to minimise energy and environmental impact.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.8 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.8 – paragraph 1
Smart mobility will help ensure the efficiency, safety and resilience of door-to- door mobility and all its components, in particular by using digital technologies, advanced satellite navigation (EGNOS/Galileo), and artificial intelligence. New technologies will help to optimise the use and efficiency of transport infrastructure and networks, improving multi-modality and connectivity, optimising traffic management and enable innovative transport solutions and services, thus that are accessible for users, particularly those with reduced mobility. This will make it possible to reducinge congestion and negative environmental impacts, providing better mobility and logistics services for citizens and businesses. Connected and automated mobility together with the enabling infrastructure will improve efficiency and safety in all transport modes..
