The Coalition for Energy Savings’ Post

Ahead of #EU elections, the #EuropeanCommission recommended on Tuesday that the EU cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040. This is an ambitious goal that will gauge political support for the region's #climate #change efforts. In response to objections by farmers who were upset about EU green standards, among other grievances, the EU executive softened part of the recommendation regarding agriculture, even though the overall aim was within the range suggested by the EU's official climate scientific consultants. #climatechange #europeanunion

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.

In an interview with Clean Energy Wire, I spoke about the EU Green Deal in the context of the upcoming election, see below

Half of the world’s population will be heading to the polls in 2024 - a time of conflict and rising geopolitical tension. Amongst all of this, the approach to the energy transition is still far from a partisan political issue - and the recent European (EU) Parliamentary election highlights this is by no means US-centric. While the more rightward leaning EU Parliament is not expected to lead to a rolling back on climate policies, it is likely to make it more complicated to get new green policies off the ground. While stability and unity is required, upcoming elections will see economic nationalism and political polarisation undoubtedly have an impact on both energy markets and the transition. #energytransition #geopolitics #netzero #energysecurity #elections
