The letter published last year underlines the critical importance of accelerating the clean energy transition to avoid climate catastrophe.
A 45% renewable energy target, up from the current 40% proposed by the European Commission, is the most cost-efficient way to reach the EU’s 2030 55% greenhouse gas emissions reduction target, and would put the continent on track to deliver on the 1.5° Paris Agreement scenario.
In our most recent campaign video, climate scientist Prof. François Gemenne joined the call to action stating:
“The EU has a special responsibility in increasing massively the share of renewable energies in the global energy mix. We have the technology, we know how to do so. What we need to do now is to deploy it and to stop immediately the public subsidies to fossil fuel energies.”
A minimum 45% renewable energy target is within reach and can be met through effective implementation of the EU’s Clean Energy Package, and the introduction of policies that reflect the European Green Deal ambitions.
