10 years ago today, the Paris Agreement officially took effect. 🌍
A global pledge to tackle climate change and limit global warming.
We remain committed to cutting emissions and making the clean energy transition a reality, in Europe and beyond.
Next stop: Antalya #COP31!
@EUCommission
I do want it to be true, but we've blown through the Paris target of 1.5 C, and are still going full steam higher.
And now the right-wing politicians on the Commission and their fossil fuel industry lobbyist friends and looking to make policies even worse.
Kick out the lobbyists, kick out money from politics, and increase democracy & transparency.
@EUCommission Please don't lie. Climate change has to stand back against most other political goals, and Manfred Weber is actively and strongly working against it.
@EUCommission if climate change would affect everyone the way it does the lives of the poorest 50% of the world population, we would be a lot further in restricting it. But ok, I'm trying to see the bigger picture. If the EPP didn't feel the far right barking at its heels we'd be a lot clearer committed to cutting EU emissions as well. But, let's look at the bigger picture. We're doing better than others? I'm trying to look at the bigger picture, because the details don't necessarily look great.
