The European Commission and the upcoming Belgian Council Presidency have outlined their legislative priorities for the first half of 2024. Focus is on concluding the remaining files from the Fit-for-55 package and initiatives arising from the 2022 energy crisis. The Commission will continue to implement the European Green Deal and evaluate the governance regulation for energy and climate obligations. Meanwhile, Belgium plans to advance socially equitable green transition by finalising around 10 energy-related legislative pieces. The 2040 climate target, crucial for connecting 2030 and 2050 goals, will be addressed in a ‘communication’ and an impact assessment, but the actual legislative proposal is not expected before 2025. This will impact EU carbon market dynamics and climate policy post-2030.

🗞 Bellona’s reaction to the European Elections!       🗳️Today marks a new cycle for European politics: around 147 millions of EU citizens cast their votes and elected the new European Parliament.    Representatives with a more sceptical approach towards climate policy have gained more seats compared to the past legislature, which will make it more challenging to design ambitious climate policy. The next European cycle needs to better emphasise the broader societal benefits of ambitious and well-designed climate action.    📢 “Despite reports of backlash against climate policies and a rise of climate sceptical EU representatives, the outcome of these European elections shows that the next European Parliament will be formed in majority by supporters of the Green Deal. The next European Parliament will have the responsibility to act together in reaching the net-zero objective for the benefit of both its industries and its citizens” – Francesco Lombardi Stocchetti, Policy Advisor on Sustainable Finance & Economy    🌍 Europe must move beyond viewing the green transition as an ideological battle and start implementing decisive climate policies.      Read the full press release here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g3DbnAEM      #EUelections #EUelections2024 #climatepolicy #EUpolicy #climateaction #climateactionnow #netzero

Amid geopolitical turmoil, EU member states face mounting pressure to provide secure energy supplies and compete with other major powers such as China and the US. 🌍 Forecasters are predicting a swing to the right in EU politics, which could jeopardise the next phase of the EU’s climate ambitions. ✍️ Josh Gabbatiss #EUpolicy #EUparliament #EUelection  #EU
