The @esabcc.bsky.social has released a landmark report on EU agri-food, and its message is clear: ❌ Europe cannot meet climate goals without transforming agriculture 👩‍🌾 For CAN Europe, a just transition is essential: for farmers, rural communities and the climate! @harmeling.bsky.social reacts ⬇️
Sven Harmeling, Head of Climate at CAN Europe: The ESABCC report outlines the critical importance of a just transition towards sustainable agriculture. This comes at a time when impacts are already severely affecting farmers and rural communities. The EU’s newly agreed 2040 climate target will also require the agricultural sector to contribute to the necessary emission reductions. Reducing and redirecting harmful subsidies, and scaling up support to enable a just transition for farmers and rural communities, are at the heart of the ESABCC recommendations. A socially-just greenhouse gas pricing mechanism in the agri-food system should also be considered, and can be instrumental in supporting the transition to a more resilient agriculture system.

Last night’s #2040Target trilogue agreement had the tricky task of balancing conflicting positions on aspects relating to the controversial introduction of international credits to meet the target:

🚨 EU Parliament adopted a 90% net emissions reduction by 2040, averting far-right attempts to scrap it ➡️ caneurope.org/eu-parliamen... But the deal comes with compromises. Midway through #COP30, the EU must raise ambition and close loopholes to ensure real climate action.

🤯Despite promising to back the ENVI Cttee deal on the EU 2040 climate target, parts of the EPP are now trying to weaken it, pushing to cut the goal to 83% net, further delay ETS2, and undo key improvements! 🚫 The EPP should stop these dirty games, and keep its word to stand by EU climate action!

🚨Yesterday the EU Council finally agreed on a 90% net 2040 climate target. 🔎 But did you spot the dangerous loopholes in the text that threaten this same headline figure just agreed? 😓

🔴 Europe is facing devastating climate impacts, and action can’t wait! Ahead of #COP30, EU ministers at the ENVI Council will decide whether to commit to an ambitious 2040 target or let climate deniers derail progress. 👇 Sign the petition to your environment minister! @wemoveeurope.bsky.social

We won’t let climate-deniers rest
Fires rage across Europe – and extremists call climate action “madness.” Our leaders meet this month to decide our future. Tell them: lock in the 90% emissions cut and reject climate rollbacks.

Last night's #EUCO was a key moment to shape the path towards the proposed 90% #2040Target While still insufficient, this target brings opportunity to strengthen EU competitiveness. Environment ministers must now adopt at least 90% net reductions by 2040 and submit the #NDC ahead of #COP30.

🌡️Amid the heatwave, the EU Commission finally released its 2040 climate target proposal, with 90% net cuts undermined by the major loophole of international credits. ⏰Now EU policy makers need to quickly agree on an ambitious 2040 target and domestic NDC that live up to the EU responsibility.

👏 TRUST 👏 THE 👏 SCIENCE 👏 Amid political discussions on weakening the 2040 climate target with 'flexibility' options - @esabcc.bsky.social has today stood up for science. @caneurope.org's @harmeling.bsky.social reacts:
Quote from Sven Harmeling, Head of Climate, CAN Europe:

‘The scientists have spoken that the EU can and must deliver a 90-95% domestic emissions cut by 2040 - without loopholes or international offsets. Undermining the target with so-called ‘flexibilities’ would jeopardise fairness, delay innovation and increase long-term costs. The European Commission, Member States and the European Parliament must trust the science, act early and adopt 2035 and 2040 targets that are aligned with climate reality’.

The European Commission wants to keep a 90 percent emissions-cutting target but to change how countries calculate their progress.
