The Commission wants to present an impact assessment before they can put the target in the law. By summer 2020, they will present an impact-assessed plan to increase the EU\u2019s greenhouse gas emission reductions target for 2030 to at least 50% and towards 55% compared with 1990 levels in a responsible way.<\/li><li  data-viewport>This target of 50% towards 55% is way too low if we look at what the <a class=\"btn-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/reports\/\">IPCC<\/a>&nbsp;is telling us. For now, the climate law has no 2030 target and if we look at the Commission\u2019s future proposal it will not have a sufficient target that will ensure the global temperature increase sticks to well below 2\u00b0C (above pre-industrial levels) or to pursue efforts to keep it to below 1.5\u00b0C.<br>This is why it is highly important to put pressure on&nbsp;lawmakers&nbsp;inside the institutions and outside to raise the ambition for this 2030 target.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div data-cont>\n\t\t<div class=\"ce no-marg ce-list high-yellow tc\">\n\t\t\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_heading\">\n<h2>The 2030 target<br><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_list\">\n<ul><li  data-viewport>The climate law set an objective of a 40% reduction by 2030, and opened the negotiation of a target from 50 to 55%. Those numbers might sound a bit random, but what will be really necessary to reach the 1.5\u00b0C goal according to the IPCC? <\/li><li  data-viewport>We have a carbon budget of less than <a class=\"btn-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q%3Dhttps:\/\/www.mcc-berlin.net\/en\/research\/co2-budget.html%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;ust%3D1584010120388000&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1584010120409000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHJrDRqMgR7ApWau3OuiwrHq9rZlA\">340 Gt of CO2 left<\/a> to emit globally to stay within that target. With today\u2019s business-as-usual that budget will only last for about eight more years. So cutting 50% by 2030 gives us much less than a 50% chance of staying below a 1.5\u00b0C global average temperature rise. And these \u2018insufficient\u2019 odds do not even include most feedback loops, tipping points or additional warming hidden by life-threatening air pollution. <\/li><li  data-viewport>Also, since this budget is global it does not include the essential aspect of equity. This means that we (in the EU) would still need to make much more than a 50% reduction by 2030 to compensate for the emissions of developing countries.<br>&nbsp;<br><em>This means that the 2030 target negotiated today is, as all climate policies once again, ignoring the carbon budgets.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div data-cont>\n\t\t<div class=\"ce no-marg ce-list high-yellow tc\">\n\t\t\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_heading\">\n<h2>Is the European climate law binding?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_list\">\n<ul><li  data-viewport>We asked the Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, if the climate law would be binding and if it would be a regulation or a directive. He told us that the EU is not a dictatorship and that they can only \u2018push\u2019 member states to do the right things. The Commission will want to be a facilitator and they can lead by example, but they can\u2019t force member states to follow Europe. <br><\/li><li  data-viewport>This raises questions about the effectiveness of the law and if this is not just a symbolic action of the EU? Should it contain sanctions, for those that fail to take care of the planet? And is a law that no one has to follow really a law? <br><\/li><li  data-viewport>Afterwards, we talked to <a class=\"btn-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/michabl\">Michael Bloss<\/a>, who is an MEP from the Greens\/EFA group. He told us the climate law would indeed not be binding directly towards individuals or member states. So if a member state wouldn\u2019t reach the target, it wouldn\u2019t face sanctions. But the climate law would obligate all other EU regulations to change and be in line with the target, which means indirectly it is binding and it means much more than just something symbolic. <\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div data-cont>\n\t\t<div class=\"ce no-marg ce-list high-yellow tc\">\n\t\t\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_heading\">\n<h2>Why the urgency of the Commission to present their risk assessment before summer?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_list\">\n<ul><li  data-viewport>The Commission will present a \u2018risk assessment\u2019 the 50-55% target. This risk assessment will have a big influence on what the Council and the Parliament will vote for. Right now, the Parliament has a majority for the 55% target. The council is negotiating between 40-55%. <\/li><li  data-viewport>First of all, let\u2019s notice the fact that the Commission never made a risk assessment for a 60%-65% or even a 70% target. This means the 55% target is politically the best chance we have for the 2030 target. <br><\/li><li  data-viewport>Second of all, the risk assessment will be presented after summer. Normally after a risk assessment is presented there will be debates about the assessment and if it is well calculated or not. This would mean that the process will take so long that by <a class=\"btn-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/process-and-meetings\/conferences\/glasgow-climate-change-conference-november-2020\">COP 26 in November<\/a> there will be no agreement yet on the 2030 target in the climate law. <\/li><li  data-viewport>Already 12 member states of the EU have formally asked the Commission to present the risk assessment earlier, because everybody realises what\u2019s at stake. If there is no agreement at COP26 it might never happen.
