Quadro di certificazione dell'UE per gli assorbimenti di carbonio
Al fine di conseguire la neutralità climatica entro il 2050 saranno necessari assorbimenti di carbonio per coprire le emissioni residue difficili da abbattere e conseguire emissioni negative a partire dal 2050, in linea con la normativa dell'UE sul clima. Il quadro di certificazione proposto mira a garantire un quadro di governance trasparente e credibile che consenta di instillare fiducia negli assorbimenti di carbonio certificati dall'UE e a incentivare un'ulteriore diffusione di tale pratica. ...

EU green strategic autonomy: The challenge of combining two objectives
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the 2019 European Green Deal initiated a wave of EU policies and legislation to combat climate change and protect the environment. Achieving a green transition became a key driver of EU policies. While many pieces of legislation were being discussed or adopted, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine moved the political focus to supply chain security and energy dependencies. Since then, achieving open European strategic autonomy for the EU economy ...
Climate change [What Think Tanks are thinking]
Last year’s UN Climate Change Conference, COP27, made some headway in efforts to fight climate change, but its overall progress was limited. The gathering agreed to create a loss-and-damage fund, to support poorer countries disproportionately affected by climate change while only being responsible for a small share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Governments at COP27 also called for reform of the International Monetary Fund and the multilateral development banks, to align global public finance ...

Climate change [What Think Tanks are thinking]
Russia’s war on Ukraine has reduced supplies of gas and oil to the European Union and other regions, increasing energy prices and complicating efforts to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. Faced with oil and gas shortages, some countries have started to fire up polluting coal power plants which had previously been shut down, or have postponed their planned closure. Burning coal or lignite emits much more carbon dioxide than using oil and gas to produce electricity. Scientists and analysts are urging ...
