Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
1. Maintains that reducing the EU's greenhouse gas emissions, thereby realisingin line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, also depends, to a large extent, on achieving EUthe EU's climate and energy policy goals in the field of renewable energy; highlights, in this regard, that the current 2020 energy strategy and energy goals will be insufficient to reach the 2050 decarbonisation target; calls, therefore, on the Commission and Member States to use the momentum of the Paris Agreement to step up the long-term efforts in achieving the internationally agreed targets to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius; stresses, in this regard, the urgency of a clear and stable long- term policy framework for the roll-out of renewable energy;

5.
