英文摘要 |
The contextThe EU’s political leaders have confirmed their commitment to the vision of a “European Green Deal” i.e. transitioning to a fully climate neutral, sustainable, and fair Europe, on several occasions. It is seen as the EU’s best chance to provide a brighter future to Europeans and boost Europe’s competitiveness. There is overwhelming backing from citizens on this, with almost 8 out of 10 Europeans agreeing that taking action on climate will make European companies more competitive, and over seven in ten Europeans agreeing that the cost of damages due to climate change are much higher than the investments needed for a green transition. The overall framework is already agreed – the EU is legally bound to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and to reduce GHG emissions by 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. There is no global blueprint on how to achieve this. The EU is now attempting to define it for itself, developing the tools and policies to deliver its ambition. On July 14 the European Commission will release a dozen legislative proposals enhancing flagship European climate, clean energy, and transport policies. All of this comes during a “climate super year” where progress is expected on the international climate diplomacy track, and where the socio-economic context and the recovery efforts amp the stakes on any decision taken. What to look out for?There is a lot riding on this package. A deep analysis of the thousands of pages of proposals will take weeks, and the negotiations between European Parliament and national government years. Here are a few elements that will help assess whether this package is good for climate, and therefore good for Europe. 1 – Will it be consistent with the EU’s 2030 and 2050 climate commitments? The overall ambition, consistency, and environmental integrity of the proposals will be crucial for the EU’s credibility towards Europeans and international partners, and to drive investment through clear unequivocal signals. Key ingredients to achieve this:
2 – Will it set the conditions to deliver concrete emission cuts in all sectors and create real incentives to develop green competitive markets? This package is the EU’s starter gun for the sustainable economic transformation of all sectors, across the EU. It must take emitting sectors onto a credible pathway to climate neutrality, accelerate the uptake of innovative solutions, and give European businesses a first mover advantage on future global green markets. Key elements here:
3 – Will it convince and reassure enough to be adopted and implemented? Despite a brightening economic outlook for all European countries, this package must address serious questions about its social impacts and its ability to unearth opportunities across all member states. Key ingredients include:
4 – Will it have a positive impact internationally? This package could be received internationally as a positive, even best practice, example of underpinning climate targets with legislation to drive implementation. Alternatively, the international reaction could be dominated by concerns over CBAM which would affect the EU’s global standing and trade relationships. Key factors include:
Background informationProposals expected on July 14th. The Commission will issue a dozen legislative proposals – likely including four new legislations – covering climate, clean energy, and transport. Find the full list here. Next steps in the negotiations. This is the starting point of heated negotiations during which national governments and European politicians are likely to diverge on options for implementation, despite overall alignment on overall objectives. Slovenia, France, Czechia, Sweden, and possibly Spain will oversee lengthy 2 or 3-year negotiations as presidents of the Council of the EU. Also to watch out for. The July 14th release is one part of a wider wave of at least 20 legislative proposals aimed at delivering the European Green Deal over the next couple of years. Other relevant elements include…
