    MEPs ask G20 to increase climate change targets before COP27

    European Parliament calls on all countries to step up their 2030 climate targets before COP27, to limit global warming in line with the Paris agreement.

    On Thursday, Parliament adopted a resolution outlining its demands for the UN COP27 Climate Change Conference, taking place in Egypt on 6-18 November. MEPs consider the climate and biodiversity crises among the most important challenges facing humanity. They are concerned about the findings of the UNEP’s emissions gap report 2021, which says that even if the more ambitious national 2030 climate targets are implemented, the world is on a path towards a 2.7°C temperature increase, far above the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C.

    The resolution says Russia’s war against Ukraine, and its consequences, makes the transformation of the global energy system more urgent. Urgent action must be taken in this decade, they warn, even as many long-term net-zero emissions pledges are ambiguous and lack transparency.

    MEPs highlight that the EU will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 55 percent if it adopts Parliament’s positions on the EU’s ‘Fit for 55 in 2030’ package and the RePowerEU Plan.
