COP28: MEPs set to adopt their position ahead of global climate talks
MEPs will debate on Monday and vote on Tuesday on Parliament’s demands for the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP28), taking place in Dubai from 30 November.
The resolution, prepared by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, outlines Parliament’s calls for action in view of the COP28, which will take stock of the progress made on implementing the 2015 Paris Agreement.
MEPs want global financial contributions to be continued and increased, better efforts to protect, conserve and restore biodiversity and global targets to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030. They also call for an end to all direct and indirect fossil fuel subsidies “as soon as possible and by 2025 at the latest”.
