European Climate Law (A9-0162/2020 - Jytte Guteland) NL

07-10-2020

De ambitie van het CDA is duidelijk: wij willen als Europa in 2050 klimaatneutraal zijn. De klimaatdoelen van Parijs zijn voor ons leidend. Dat zijn wij verschuldigd aan onze kinderen en kleinkinderen. Dit moeten we echter wel op een haalbare en betaalbare manier bereiken. Eurocommissaris Timmermans geeft zélf aan dat deze doelen bij 55 % CO2-reductie in 2030 kunnen worden gehaald, maar dat een doelstelling boven de 55 % grote sociaal-economische consequenties kan hebben.
Het baart ons zorgen dat deze boodschap door een aantal partijen niet serieus genoeg lijkt te worden genomen, want de gevolgen zijn serieus: voor Europese bedrijven en voor de koopkracht van gezinnen. Het is daarom zeer onverstandig om – middenin de coronacrisis – de doelstelling voor 2030 nog verder te verhogen naar 60 %. Wij kunnen om deze reden helaas niet met dit verslag instemmen. Onze hand blijft wel uitgestoken om samen te werken aan een realistische klimaatwet die ons helpt om de doelen van Parijs te halen, met oog voor de weerbarstige praktijk. Want het klimaatbeleid valt of staat met voldoende draagvlak.
