The discontents and disappointments to the EU #2040ClimateTarget are understandable but one needs to not forget the current geopolitical environment we’re in so we also need to take these “small” wins and work with what we got to make things better!

Today last chance for the EU to be able to go to #COP30 with a #2040ClimateTarget & updated #NDC: @caneurope.org calls on all envi ministers to choose a future proof pathway and not getting lost in unsustainable, unfair arrangements or flexibilities (aka loopholes!)

🔥🌳 Obviously, doing calculation tricks might help with the #2040ClimateTarget. But not with #forests, nor with climate. Let's finally start taking natural sinks (or sources) serious!

Yesterday, European leaders discussed the #2040ClimateTarget, only to hand the baton straight back to environment ministers
One thing is clear: 90% is the only number on the table
It’s now time to endorse this target and limit the amount of international offsets

🌡️ EU Member States can change this course by setting a #2040ClimateTarget without loopholes and international #offsets
📢 Yesterday, the EU set its #2040ClimateTarget, to cut 90% GHG emissions (vs 1990)
🌍 A vital step aligned with the EU Climate Law & Clean Industrial Deal. But flexibility mustn’t weaken forestry/agri-food goals or lead to overcompensation on top of CBAM.

With all eyes on the #2040ClimateTarget proposal, the removal of all references to "Novel Foods" from the EC #LifeScience Strategy is going unnoticed....
An earlier draft hinted at "facilitat[ing] and accelerat[ing] the approval procedures for Novel Foods. This got scrapped.
EU proposes 90% emissions reduction target for 2040 – with flexibility to use carbon credits.

🇭🇷🤝🇩🇰 State Secretary Radić Lakoš met with Danish Minister for Climate & Energy Lars Aagaard to discuss the #2040ClimateTarget and shaping the #EUNDC ahead of #COP30, in light of Denmark’s upcoming EU Council Presidency.
🚨Climate loopholes do not cut emissions - they cut credibility!
"Shortcuts" in the EU #2040ClimateTarget such as backloading, carbon offsets, inflated removals and sectoral swaps would only undermine trust, ambition, and global leadership as @caneurope.org explain

📅❌The EU Commission was expected to publish amendments to the #ClimateLaw for the #2040ClimateTarget but has yet to announce a release date. The 2040 target and enabling conditions are essential to set the pathway for a prosperous, competitive and climate neutral EU by 2050.
EU climate chief Ribera confirms #2040climatetarget is delayed: The 2040 target, originally due in the first quarter of this year, is now slated for the second quarter.
