Keep on track, reduce dependency, invest in jobs and competitiveness

On today´s new report of the EU Scientific Advisers Bas Eickhout, Co-President of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, comments:

“The clear message of the EU Scientific Advisory Board is to keep on track and stick to investing in renewable energies. Scientists show a clear red card towards dirty tricks playing international carbon credits against climate action within the EU, as Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra suggested.

It is again scientifically approved that 90 to 95 per cent fewer CO2 emissions domestically by the year 2040 will be feasible. Our message to all those who advocate for the roll-back to fossil energies: Stop creating planning insecurity, but rather invest in climate action, reduce our dependency and fossil autocrats, accelerate clean technology innovation, create jobs and reinforce the EU’s competitiveness.”
