EU reaction to the #IPCC Synthesis Report here 👇
RT @TimmermansEU: The @IPCC_CH is unequivocal about the grave consequences the climate crisis already has.

It should be the basis for more ambition at #COP28:

🔴updated NDCs
🔴global emissions peak by 2025
🔴phase-out unabated fossil fuels
🔴robust domestic policies to get the job done

The voluntary gas demand reduction target of 15% which has been agreed for 1 August 2022 to 31 March 2023 would be continued until March 2024 under today’s proposal

Member States would have to report every month, instead of every two. Reporting would now need to be per sector.

Thanks to voluntary contributions, gas demand across the EU dropped by more than 19% between August and January 2023, exceeding the 15% target and allowing Europe to save around 42 bcm of gas.

Voluntary gas demand reduction was introduced last year under the Save Gas for a Safe Winter Plan, one of the key measures to tackle the energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It contributed significantly to easing the pressure of Russian supply cuts.

Against the backdrop of a challenging global market, it is important that Europe prepares now for next winter.

Continued gas savings will help achieve EU gas storage refilling goals and keep supplies stable.

Lower and better managed demand can also reduce price volatility.

Today, the @EU_Commission has proposed to prolong the EU’s emergency legislation on coordinated gas demand reduction for another year, beyond its expiry on 31 March 2023

Another busy week working on the #EUGreenDeal and the clean energy transition 💚

On Tuesday we proposed a reform of the EU electricity market to boost renewables

Today we proposed the Net Zero Industry Act and Hydrogen Bank so more of the clean tech we need is made in Europe
