There’s been intense debate on just how to tweak the EU emissions trading system — with some pushing to ease rules to aid competitiveness, and others defending a key tool of industrial decarbonisation...

The European Commission has postponed the adoption of the #ETS benchmarks 2026–2030 to “shortly after Easter”. A draft version shows that the EC was planning to reduce the fallback benchmarks by 50%, a move strongly opposed by certain industries, particularly the chemical sector.

The European Commission has just opened two consultations related to the EU post-2030 climate framework: 1/ on the legal framework for the possible use of international carbon credits towards the 2040 climate target 2/ on national targets and flexibilities in the climate policy framework after 2030

The đŸ‡©đŸ‡° presidency of the Council is suggesting a range of 66.3%-72.5% for the temporary nationally determined contribution (#NDC) of the EU, "without prejudice to the final agreement of the EU's 2040 climate target". The issue will be discussed tomorrow by Coreper I

Together with other ENVI coordinators from pro-EU groups in parliament, I just finalized a timeline to complete 2040 climate targets before the climate summit #COP30. From the beginning, it was a mistake by EPP to hand over this crucial climate file to the far-right. 1/3

2040 #climate target: The European Parliament political groups have just adopted a timeline for the negotiations - report 25/07 - deadline for amendments 08/09 - Vote in Environment committee 23/09 - plenary vote: first session of October

The European Parliament rejected the request by Renew, the Greens and S&D to use an urgent procedure on the 2040 #climate target. Seems that they didn't counvinced the EPP not to vote with PfE, ESN and ECR 300+, 379-, 8 abstentions.
