47 organisations call EU Leaders for decisive actions

Today, 47 organisations representing over 2.700 cities, 330 regions, €62 trillion in investment portfolio, more than 800 companies and 330 NGOs signed a joint letter urging European Leaders to increase the EU’s 2030 target.

Ahead of the European Council discussion on the new 2030 climate target, these 47 organisations agree on the fact that member states must set a -55% emissions reduction target at least. Some of the signatory organisations call for a 65% reduction at least.

The letter welcomes the Commission’s proposal to substantially increase the EU’s 2030 climate target and states that the Member States should agree on at least -55% while some civil society organisations supporting the letter are already calling for at least -65% emission reductions. European stakeholders encourage Member States to achieve increased climate target both by strong emission reductions as well as decisive action to remove emissions through Nature Based Solutions in line with the need to protect Europe’s biodiversity.

European cities, regions, businesses, investors, NGOs and local communities, underline that only ambitious climate action can avert the most dire future costs of climate change impacts and provide a unique societal and economic opportunity to achieve a socially just transition for all European regions.
